The Anglican Church Hall, corner Clarendon & Nightingale Street, Maryborough Victoria, near Princes Park and Victoria Lake and Park Road is the location for the Spring Art of Elegance Fair. The main theme will be vintage culture and lifestyle and with powder blue houndstooth carpet in the foyer, quaint wallpapered leafy stage with gold curtains, and solid Edwardian architectural style mixed with a 1950’s overlay, the building brings a lovely feel to what will be a bright and fresh Spring fair. Lots of lovely vintage items to browse and buy, and catered with home made high tea cakes, food and wine, giveaways and lots of other treats on the day. A very short walk into town via Clarendon Street, same location as the Winter Fair 12th August, and not far from Maryborough Town Hall in Neill Street where the Autumn Fair was held in May 2012.
