Vauxhall Art Car Boot Fair
THIS ARCHIVED EVENT ENDED ON THE 14TH JUNE 2009
Nearby Vauxhall Art Car Boot Fair

This is a car boot sale with a difference - instead of second hand goods all the wares sold out of the back of the motors are art. The feel at the Vauxhall Art Car Boot Fair is one of a genuine car boot sale with plenty of good humoured bartering and banter. Some of the 'art' may even look as though it had come from someone's attic but don't be fooled, junk it certainly isn't. Some well-known artists have taken part including Sarah Lucas, Tracey Emin, Gavin Turk and Peter Blake. The atmosphere is super friendly with kiddies running about, you'll feel like you've gatecrashed a private party crossed with a street festival. Go, pick up a burger and Pimms, drift around the car boots and watch the spectacle - oh and don't forget to bargain for some modern British art at a fraction of the gallery price.About The Old Truman Brewery
Popular with the Shoreditch crowd on the weekends, The Old Truman Brewery houses more than 200 small, creative businesses, a bar and several areas for hire. It encompasses 19 buildings, linked by a series of alleyways and courtyards, but the main area - the Boiler House - is easily identified by its 49-metre chimneystack with 'Truman' written up the side.
