Lose yourself in a treasure trove of antiques and rare collectables this weekend.
The Detling Antiques, Vintage and Collectors Fair returns to the Events Centre at the Kent Showground near Maidstone on Saturday, September 10 and Sunday, September 11 and, for those with a keen eye, it’s the perfect opportunity to grab a bargain or two.
The bustling fair is set to bring with it 300 indoor stands, and even more outside stalls - if the weather holds out, that is.
There will be a selection of elegant jewellery, retro clothing and beautiful accessories for those who feel like hunting down some vintage fashion.
If you want to refresh your home decor with some unique pieces, there will be a number of ceramic and furniture stalls with goods sure to make your interiors stand out from the rest.
With a wealth of wares on offer, including garden goods, ornaments, art and collectable pieces, you are practically guaranteed to find something that catches your eye at this fabulous fair.
The fair, as in previous years, is hosted once again by B2B Events and will be open to the public from 10am.
If you want first dibs on the best antiques, you can purchase early entry tickets for Saturday which allow visitors to start shopping from 8.30am. Early entry tickets cost £6, standard Saturday cost £5 and Sunday tickets cost £4.
Saturday tickets also allow re-entry on Sunday so if you haven’t got your fill of goodies on day one, you can come back and do it all over again.
The fair closes at 4.30pm on Saturday and 3.30pm on Sunday, so you have plenty of time to shop ‘til you drop.
Tickets can be purchased on the gate and are cash-only. Also, while some traders may have card payment facilities, the majority will not so make sure you bring plenty of cash with you.
