Vintage Folk Thrift Events

Our Manchester Warehouse events take place on the weekend twice a month throughout the year. We open from 11am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday. Our warehouse is located just behind Piccadilly Station, making it easily accessible by public transport. Check our events listings for specific dates and times.

Unlike kilo sales where prices depend on weight (and heavy items like denim jackets or winter coats can cost a fortune), we offer clearly marked individual prices with no surprises at checkout. Our pricing structure (£3-£20 per item) often works out cheaper than kilo sales, especially for heavier premium items.

We specialise in premium brands including Carhartt, Levi's, The North Face, Patagonia, and popular Y2K era items. All at a fraction of their original retail price, with most items between £3-£20.

No, all our events offer free entry with no booking required. Simply turn up on the day during opening hours. For university events, student ID may be required depending on the venue policy.

We host events across the UK, with our most popular locations being Manchester, Bristol, and Edinburgh universities. We have a particularly strong presence during Freshers periods. Check out our events listings and use the 'filter by location' drop down to see which Universities we will be at next.

We welcome resellers at our Vintage Folk Warehouse events! Many of our customers resell on platforms like Vinted, Instagram, and Depop.

However, we also sell directly to businesses via wholesale, with even lower prices than you'll find at our events. Find out more about buying wholesale here.

Yes at our Vintage Folk Warehouse Events we have 4 designated changing rooms.

At University events it depends on what is provided by the University. Unfortunately there aren't usually changing rooms.

No! While we host many events at universities, our Manchester Warehouse events are open to everyone, including the general public and resellers. University events may sometimes require student ID depending on the venue.
