UK/US terms:
The UK 'charity shop' is 'second-hand shop' in US/Canada.
'Pound shop' is 'dollar store'.

Note that reenactor markets are not quite like US Ren Faires. UK reenactor markets are weekend events where reenactors buy their equipment. There's no 'public' to entertain - just lots of shopping. :-) Examples:
