Get ready to refresh your wardrobe with timeless pieces that never go out of style.
The National Trust’s Vintage Clothing & Collectables Sale returns on 21—22 March 2026—bringing together fashion lovers, conscious shoppers, and collectors for a two-day celebration of sustainable style. In this special 70th anniversary year for the National Trust, the sale promises to be our best yet.
Whether you’re searching for standout pieces, elevated wardrobe staples, or beautifully crafted garments with a story, this is where vintage elegance meets everyday style.
For one weekend only, the historic Magdalen Laundry at Abbotsford Convent will be transformed into a curated marketplace featuring:
Daily Drops: Fresh stock released on Sunday morning—perfect if you’re planning a second visit (and we think you will).
Member-Only Shopping Sessions: Enjoy exclusive early access from 9.00am–10.30am each day. Not a member yet? Join to secure your place when allocations open in early March. Plus, we’ll waive the $40 joining fee when you use the code VCCS26
Cheep & Cheerful Clearance: Take 50% off all remaining items from 3.00pm–5.00pm on Sunday 22 March—a great opportunity to pick up a few extra pieces before we close.
My top five changes week to week, writes Ella, a member of the dedicated team working behind the scenes to sift, sort and admire the sheer volume and exceptional quality of donations generously received for this year’s Vintage Clothing & Collectables Sale.
Fashion trends are not something that particularly interest me, but it turns out that I’ve unwittingly been following a recent hot trend for years. Vintage fashion is officially in, according to style forecasters and such lofty sources as Vogue magazine.
