Uplifting stories for Norfolk and Suffolk
A brand-new Autumn Antiques, Vintage, Retro & Collectables Fair at Stonham Barns Park – one of Suffolk’s premier destination venues – will take place on 19 October. It follows on from a highly successful Spring Fair staged in March this year.
Organised by the owners of Aspal Antiques, Aspal Emporium and Aspal Reclamation, a new 3000 sq ft antiques centre at the venue, the show will feature items from over 30 specialist traders from the East of England. It will be a show that has something for everyone as visitors support both the environment and small businesses by shopping for antiques and reclaimed items for the house and garden.
Owned by two enterprising couples, Alan Knight and Henrietta Lewis – and Wendy and Alf Faulkner – Aspal Antiques has recently expanded the business with the increase in demand for antiques as a result of refurbishments, renovations and people looking to ‘treat’ themselves to something collectable that fits a passion or interest like Militaria and Victoriana.
The owners not only sell the stock they source themselves but also offer antiques ‘collectors and traders’ the chance to rent cabinet space from them at a monthly charge to promote a wide range of antique pieces in one central space. They have also opened a new Reclamation Yard which offers architectural reclamation pieces that are now included in feature-rich property make-overs.
