Some 60 dealers gathered in this beautiful setting and although they did not all do good business, every one of them praised the atmosphere and potential of the fair.
From May 13 to 16, Jan stages Antiques & Audacity at Arundel for the second time and she has brought together an excellent roster of some 75 dealers, including such familiar names from the quality fairs circuit as Nicholas Shaw, Christine Bridge, Lennox Cato, Wakelin and Linfield, David Hickmet and Wilson’s Antiques from Worthing, who promise to take a very early map of Arundel.
Admission is £5.
Queen of the castle
ONE of the pleasanter surprises on the fairs front last year was the immediate warm reception the trade gave to the launch of Antiques & Audacity, a new event organised by Gloucester-shire dealer Jan Hicks and staged in the grounds of Arundel Castle, West Sussex.
