Last week we turned the Link Corridor into a runway of pre-loved style, hosting a vintage market that brought rails of curated clothing, denim, jerseys, and one-off accessories to campus. From 8 am to late afternoon there was a steady stream of students hunting for statement pieces and giving great clothes a second life.

Why we love it: vintage markets are an easy win for wallets and the planet. Choosing second-hand keeps garments in use for longer, cuts down on waste, and lets you experiment with your look without the fast-fashion footprint. It also creates a friendly, low-pressure space to chat, try on, and swap styling tips between lectures.

Our traders brought quality picks (think: 90s knits, classic tees, trench coats and workwear), with prices to suit student budgets. The Link Corridor’s wide layout meant smooth browsing and great footfall, and our team were on hand to help with set-up, directions and keeping walkways clear.

What students said (in a nutshell): affordable, fun, and full of pieces you won’t find on the high street.

Missed it? Don’t worry, this is just the start. We’re planning more pop-ups through the year, plus themed drops (winter warmers, varsity classics, and grad-season smart wear).

Huge thanks to everyone who came along, browsed, bought, and supported circular fashion on campus. See you at the next one, same campus, fresh rails.
