Nostalgia Weekend Hornsea Freeport

August 29, 2015 - September 1, 2015

This event will be the sixth one the Society has held at Hornsea Freeport. The first year was only supposed to be held on Bank Holiday Saturday but was so popular that some of our members stayed on for the Sunday too.

Since then we have taken over a vacant unit on the site for all three days of the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Our members bring their surplus Hornsea Pottery to sell to collectors of the many different types of pottery, plus there will be plenty of tableware for anyone who is looking for replacements of broken items.

In 2013 on the Bank Holiday Monday we invited Paul Hayes the television antiques expert to value items of Hornsea Pottery and other items brought for him to peruse. The queue was endless and Paul worked hard all day.

Because that event was so well received, in 2014 we were very pleased when Mark Hill who is the Retro and Vintage expert on the Sunday evening antiques programme agreed to our request to appraise the many and various items brought by the general public. He gave us an amazing master class on a large quantity of rare glass belonging to some of our members.

This event will be held at Hornsea Freeport over the three day August Bank Holiday weekend with an antiques expert on the Bank Holiday Monday to value any vintage, retro or antique item.

We are very pleased to announce that Beverley based Auctioneer and Bargain Hunt antiques expert Caroline Hawley will be joining us on the Bank Holiday Monday to value your antiques and collectables. Please bring along any item you would like to know the value of, pottery, jewellery, glass or anything you can carry! So search your attic or garage and bring them along!
