Vintage shops in Liverpool

Maja Lorkowska, Exhibitions Editor

Liverpool has plenty of vintage shops, to the delight of local students and lovers of all things retro and sustainable. Standing the test of time against the chain giants of Liverpool ONE, most of these stores have been around for a long time and continue to provide the good people of Liverpool with all of the beautiful, quirky and downright weird finds you’d expect in any good vintage shop.

If you don’t have time for a wander around the city but want to cram in as many vintage stores as possible, head to Bold Street where you’ll find at least three of the ones listed below. There are also lots and lots of charity shops around, if you’re in the mood for browsing, so keep an eye out for those. Shopping for vintage gems is thirsty work and there are plenty of cute cafés and eateries nearby, in the Bold Street area and beyond. In fact, at least one of the shops below is a café too so you can stop for a cuppa while admiring vintage chairs, posters and candle holders. Happy hunting!

Discover Lotherton, a country estate, historic hall and Wildlife World zoo. Our Edwardian estate is truly a great place for a family day out, with plenty to keep children and grown ups entertained! The expansive grounds and gardens are lovely walking spots, with or without four-legged companions. Each season brings new surprises including wild garlic in the spring, a sea of colourful blooms in summer in the formal gardens and stunning autumnal colours later on in the year. We have two playgrounds which means there's plenty of space for running about and letting off steam, with zip wires for older children to enjoy. Our evolving zoo, Wildlife World, is a real highlight of any visit and we'd highly recommend popping by to see the Humboldt penguins splash and swim in their pool. Other colourful characters include Arthur the tapir, our resident porcupines and a flamboyance of pink flamingos.
