The Fifties Fair is the ultimate celebration of all things 1950s, set in the grounds of Rose Seidler House – Harry Seidler’s first Australian commission (1948–50).
This year’s entertainment includes live music that will inspire you to jive and rock‘n’roll along side our rockabilly dancers, a 50s DJ, live vintage styled mannequins, vehicle displays and kids’ activities. Come dressed in your best 50s threads for a chance to win a prize in the fabulous Fifties fair fashion awards. Specialist collectors and dealers will be selling 50’s furniture, clothes, kitchenware, records and much more. Take the opportunity to tour Rose Seidler House which boasts one of Australia’s most important post-war design collections.
A free shuttle bus will operate between Turramurra train station and Rose Seidler House for the duration of the event.
I remember when we used to swim in the pool at Rose Seidlers House back in he 60s. We had to pay the Seidlers 5 cents to ‘swim’ the gauntlet with spiders and brown snakes. Hope to get back there one day.
Last year’s fair was wonderful. Just hope the rain holds off this weekend.
I’ve tried everything to find out the date for the 2012 1950’s Fair at Rose Seidler House. Can someone help me please?
Hi Annaisse – The website for the Historic Houses Trust will be updated with the details, it doesn’t look like a date has been set yet but it will be a Sunday in August I think. Here is the link for Rose Seidler House events – nothing at the moment.
You could contact the HHT direct, they may be able to help you.
