The Antiques Fair and Vintage Market at the National Botanic Garden of Wales began 2018 season with a very successful fair at the end of January. The next fair will be held on 7th and 8th April. Organiser Brita Rogers, of Derwen Fairs, said: “The fair has proved to be a recipe for success, increasing in size to up to 100 stands and includes many more stands outside. We have recorded record numbers of visitors and demand is high." As soon as you step into the Great GlassHouse you are met with a stunning display of antiques set against a spectacular backdrop of Mediterranean plants. Other Antiques are also found in the Regency Principality House (the old servants’ quarters), hidden gem tucked away beside the Millennium Courtyard and in the Theatre Botanica. Brita explained: “The fair will be showcasing Welsh areas of collecting including Welsh pottery, Welsh art and furniture. There will an amazing display of period Welsh oak furniture from child's chairs, milking stools to larger pieces including dressers and linen press cupboards. Richard Bebb will be


displaying a rich array of Welsh paintings including artists such as Sir Kyffi n Williams which marks the centenary of his birth. He is revered within his homeland and further afi eld for the empathy his paintings show for the landscape and its people. New for this year at the fair, is the introduction of the famous Book Bus 'Dylan's Book store' which travels all round the country showcasing an amazing display of rare Welsh, antiquarian books plus a selection of affordable novels. Welsh textiles will also be a main feature at the fair. There will be a huge range of welsh tapestry blankets on display with their extensive colour range and intrinsic patterns. Amongst the quality stands, will be a selection of militaria stands, displaying some very unusual items from the past including rare medals, military swords and vintage fi re arms. From furniture to fi shing reels, Tin plate toys to exquisite jewellery, most areas of collecting can be found.
