Overview

Pull on your seamed stockings and pin your victory rolls in place — Sydney's Fifties Fair is set to descend upon Rose Seidler House in Wahroonga for its 21st year running. On Sunday, August 21, the iconic house and its gardens will be transported back to their heyday, with a carefully-curated selection of stalls selling authentic '50s fashion, furniture, kitchenalia and knick knacks, as well as a hair styling and a best-dressed competition. There'll also be a vintage car display for those who know their Fleetwood Cadillacs from their Jags and a killer music lineup headlined by The Hi-Boys to keep you dancing all arvo-long.

When all that dancing makes you hungry, tuck into some deliciousness from Porteño and Daisy's Milkbar, then wander through (and marvel at) the house in all its mid-century architectural glory, complete with original furniture and fixtures. To help you get there, there'll also be a free vintage shuttle running between the house and Turramurra Station.

Plus, if you book your tickets early (before August 7), you'll go into the draw to win four nights at the incredible mid-century home, Bel-Air, in Berry on the South Coast. It's a bona-fide '50s dream.
