Exhibits Aberdeen plan tea party and fair with Aberdeen Inspired Part of Aberdeen Inspired's plans to transform the Victorian sunken gardens into a Winter Wonderland this December, Exhibits Aberdeen will turn the green space into a vintage grotto. Taking over the marquee set to be erected adjacent to the outdoor ice rink, the space will house two separate events on December 11, with Vintage Christmas in the Gardens kicking off proceedings from 10am. An opportunity to pick up unique vintage items for gifts, the vintage fair will also host a raffle with proceeds going towards a charity. Organiser Brian Yeomans said: "We have selected 12 high-end vintage stallholders to take part, from the likes of Quinneys Jewellers to Blairgowrie Antiques. Afterwards we will have an hour and a half turnaround to start the Vintage Tea Party. Already a hit with Aberdonians, the first sitting at 6pm for the Vintage Tea Party in the Gardens, a kitsch-mix of vintage tablecloths and teapot cosies, has nearly sold out, with a second sitting from 8pm also available for those looking for a late-night cuppa. Featuring unlimited tea and coffee plus pastries served by Fife baker Ms Battenburg's Travelling Tea Shop, people can either sit back and enjoy the vintage sounds from the Bon Accord Band - or get up on the dance floor to show off their swing moves. Brian added: "The way the gardens are going to be set up is so nice and it's going to be very busy. Plus we will be right next to the ice rink so people can go and have a skate afterwards if they like. Since the events were revealed early last month, hundreds have signed up for notifications about the vintage tea party and fair, which has both shocked and delighted Brian and co-organiser Paula Duffus. Brian said: "It's going to be a full day of vintage, which is a first for Aberdeen since it takes place during the week. It's taken off amazingly according to our Facebook page, we're quite shocked but it's great to see that Aberdeen folk like events like this. Not ones to miss out on the fun, both Brian and Paula, along with staff members Sophie and Alice, will be adorned in outfits from eras gone by during the events. And Brian added: "All of the proceeds from the organisers side will be donated to Aberdeen Inspired's nominated charity."
