Lewes Flea Market — Attraction in Lewes

I have never in my life encountered such a foul, callous and misogynistic business person as Alan at the flea market. I was selling a large quantity of furniture to Alan, as I am moving urgently, of which he was fully aware of, at a more than fair price. When he came to collect the items today, he was rude from the off; I asked him a simple question about one item I was considering removing from the inventory (worthless and dog chewed but very sentimental) at which point he immediately proclaimed the deal was off in. I have never seen the like when dealing with someone in a professional manner. I remained very calm and questioned his brashness, even stating he could keep the aforementioned item, and he proceeded to tell me that I was emotionally manipulating him and informed me that “this is not how business is conducted”. He rudely ordered his movers to return everything to my storage unit, and when I questioned the abruptness of this decision, one of his helpers unsympathetically said “Leave it, I know this guy and you’re just making it so much worse for yourself.” We had a written agreement and I couldn’t help but notice that when my boyfriend was with me at our initial viewing, he was much more civil.

Lewes Flea Market is a true gem for those in search of unique and vintage treasures. With an extensive variety of items ranging from antique furniture and retro homeware to vintage clothing and rare collectibles, there’s no shortage of interesting finds.

All in all, Lewes Flea Market is a must-visit for vintage lovers, but the cluttered and cramped spaces can make it difficult to fully enjoy everything it has to offer. If you're patient and enjoy the thrill of a bit of a challenge, it's worth...

I bought a lamp from here over the phone, after visiting Lewes from London one weekend. The flea market doesnt usually offer collection/delivery options so I tried to arrange a collection of the lamp, the first one of which failed (my fault). Lewes Flea Market were SO helpful to get the issue sorted. They packaged the lamp of their own time/cost and affixed the address label for me. They stayed in constant communication the entire time to ensure it arrived to me safe and soundly. It arrived this week and I couldn't be happier. So grateful that they went out of their way to help. Thank...
