We are a theatre production company that has written, directed and produced many professional Pantomimes and Shows over the last 10 years. After much deliberation, we have taken the decision to clear out our stores and have a sale of all of our accumulated stock – a difficult decision for a costume junkie and hoarder like myself. But we would rather these costumes see the footlights again and are used rather than sitting in our store room!
We will be taking over the use of a house in South East London for the weekend and filling it with hundreds of lovely costumes – some are used and some have never been worn. Perfect for a collector, theatre groups, producer, fancy dress hire business or individuals wanting a stunning costume.
Costumes for sale will include full sets from Sleeping Beauty, Dick Whittington, Cinderella and Aladdin. Plus many stunning Victorian gowns from Music Hall shows, Georgian Dresses from Opera productions (some never even worn) Plus a whole range of Tyrolean and Austrian costumes along with Guys and Dolls ‘Hot Box’ outfits. Lots more individual Capes, Dresses, Shirts and Skirts etc.
There are also lots of Props, Shoes, Hats, Make Up and Wigs plus lots more interesting items collected from the last 10 years of Theatre and Film productions…..all at bargain prices.
We have a section packed with Theatrical Trims, Sequins, Fabric Bundles, Threads, Buttons - all perfect for Costume making or Crafts
There is free on street parking behind the house and we will also offer a cuppa and a biscuit while you look through the rails.
Woolwich is 5 minutes from the Blackwall Tunnel and 15 minutes from the Dartford Crossing by car, plus the house is very close to 4 bus routes and is only a 10 minute walk from mainline Woolwich Arsenal or Woolwich Dockyard Overground Rail Stations or Woolwich Arsenal DLR station. It also only takes 10 minutes on a bus from North Greenwich Tube station (Jubilee Line).
Prices will go from 50p up to £100+ for some of the more pristine, intricate or never worn Dame, Victorian or Georgian dresses. Offers will be considered!
