Treasure trove
Imagine your favourite vintage store and a Parisian flea market all
rolled into one – then add those secret off-the-beaten track furniture
shops and the bric-a-brac junk shop of your dreams. Sounds good?
You’ll love Sandown Antiques Homes & Interiors Fair at Sandown Park
Racecourse on Sunday 18th February. Their team of seasoned traders
offer an array of decorative antiques, vintage, retro, artwork, garden
ephemera, collectables, vintage clothing, jewellery and much, much
more. Go and experience the buzz first-hand with an atmosphere filled
with colour, character and fun – there’s no other market like it. The stall
holders are an attraction themselves, with more characters than you can
shake an ormolu candlestick at! sunburyantiques.com
