There was a vintage vibe when milliner Lilly Lewis helped launch the unique mirrored Spiegeltent as part of Brighton Fringe.

The Brighton hatmaker, pictured third from left, with her models, is the official milliner to the legendary Belgian pleasure garden which is making its return to Brighton after an absence of seven years due to touring commitments.

Hosting cabaret artists, musicians and circus burlesque performers, it’s now up in Old Steine and opens tomorrow (May 3).

The Spiegeltent’s Boo Paterson said: “I love Brighton’s vibe because it matches the Spiegeltent perfectly: It’s vintage, it’s cool and it’s artistic. We’re looking forward to a long, hot summer here.”

During the Fringe, the Spiegeltent, which travels to arts festivals around the country, will host The Festivals Club every night and performances during the day.
