Hansley Beard

Our new vintage unit opening at The Nichols Building!

It’s all go this week as we are launch our new ‘shopfront’ in Sheffield’s wonderful new Antiques, Art and Crafts Centre in the Nichols Building on Shalesmoor.

All are invited to the grand opening event this Thursday 21st July from 2pm-7pm including nibbles and cocktails served in Hansley Beard Vintage Crockery . The Lord Mayor will be officially opening the building at 4pm.

We have been planning to have a shop space for some time as so much of what we do is visual and we wanted to have somewhere where people could see examples of our candy and dessert bars, our styling and a sample of the crockery and props we hire out. Our hire stock is expanding all the time but we hope to bring out our new brochure and inventory of items very soon!


When the opportunity arose to rent a space in this new venture we decided that this would be a good next step and that as we love ‘vintage’ so much that we would also start selling vintage items ~
some are homewares and some are vintage and vintage-style decor items that can be sourced and used for vintage weddings and events.


If you can’t make it to the opening do pop in another time. There are a whole host of different units full of antiques, vintage items and clothes and art from some of Sheffield’s most talented and chicest suppliers and artists, as well as a lovely tearoom.
Opening times are:
Saturdays ~ 10-5pm
Sundays ~ 10-4pm
Closed Mondays
Tuesdays-Fridays ~11-6pm

Look forward to seeing you there sometime soon!

Check out the Nichols Building website or facebook page for more details.

More pictures coming soon!
