There’s a new one-stop shop for across-the-board loveliness in Newcastle. SAM WONFOR took some time out to roll up to the Flea Circus, and strongly suggests you do the same.

Flea Circus opened its doors just as we were all about to start opening the ones on our advent calendars (seems yonks ago now, doesn’t it, although I do have what I’m calling my jolly Christmas chocolate belt to keep it fresh in my mind) and has already made quite the impression.

With almost 20 individual sellers – and more than a few about to be added to its roster – co-habiting in harmony in a spacious unit, Flea Circus promises an absolute doozie of an opportunity to browse, browse and browse again safe in the knowledge that there will always be something new to catch your eye and interest… and more often than not, your heart too.

So whether you’re in the market for vintage furniture or fashion, contemporary jewellery, comics, collectibles, distinctive ceramics, a curated selection of second hand books, eye-catching prints, salvaged wood creations, hand printed cards and/or retro toys, you’re going to want to put this place on your ‘to-visit’ list.
