Bringing together a diverse mix of 200 exhibitors showcasing pieces from classic to contemporary, the fair will include the very best of furniture, sculpture, jewellery, Art Deco, 20th Century design, ceramics and more. The fair has also been newly renamed to reference Art in the title due to its mixture of eye-catching paintings, prints and watercolours.

Alongside this, Art & Antiques for Everyone favourites, Judith Miller and Will Farmer from the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow, will be speaking Friday – Sunday providing their top tips and selecting a few of many standout pieces at the fair.
