We spent a very enjoyable day today at the Newbury Antiques and Collector's Fair which only happens once a year and was held at Newbury racecourse in Berkshire. There were hundreds of stalls both inside and out and the sun shone on us for most of the day. It is one of the biggest fairs in Europe and the largest in England. It took several hours to see as much as we could, with a pause for a picnic, and surprisingly the only item purchased was a champagne cooler! I am sure this will appear on a future blog gracing the dining table for dinner.
A link to their website can be found
here. Look out for the date for 2014 - it is well worth a visit!

| The outdoor stalls stretch as far as the eye can see with a good range of antique and vintage items |
 |
| These vintage and salvage items were quite appealing. I thought these coat stands would be good for hanging baskets in the garden! |

| The grandstand is a 70 stall venue space |
