Okay, so it's not strictly in Dublin, and being the last stop on the DART line has an ominous ring to it. But venturing out into the wilds of Greystones seems just about possible for this gorgeous sounding 'pre-loved' clothes sale. There will be vintage, designer and high street clothes, jewellery, bags and shoes to rummage through. We're promised no junk, only treasures. The stallholders are made up of stylists, models and fashionable sorts who are clearing out their overflowing wardrobes, with proceeds going to charity.
There will be tea and cake and rock and roll music. Sounding like some sort of impossible Ab-Fab/Darling Buds of May hybrid, I'm hoping for doddery old dears in knitted hats dispensing tea to languid fashion types, clutching those McQueen shoes snatched up for only a fiver. It's pretty much unmissable.
With all that frenzied rooting for that perfect bargain, you'll likely have worked up an appetite. For a town of its size, Greystones has a phenomenal number of cafes and restaurants. The Happy Pear is the star organic/healthy attraction of the town, and Italian restaurant Vino Pasta has started a rather good cafe near the DART station. Mrs Robinson is a bizarrely decorated bar opposite The Happy Pear serving interesting beer and varying degrees of fun.
