home: event [ antiques market ]

With the weather improving and warmer days coming – it’s time to get back into outdoor market shopping.

Our favourite, and everyone’s favourite worst kept secret, is the incredible Sunbury Antiques Market which has had its home, for now 37 years, at the vast Kempton Park Racecourse. This epic, endless land, houses over 700 outdoor and indoor stalls with furniture, accessories and paraphernalia up for sale. Every era, style, taste and price range is covered here. Nab anything from a bargain 1960s chair for a fiver to old industrial buckets for a tenner or splurge on incredible antique or midcentury furniture. There is many a design classic to be had.

Visit this haven for interiors shopping on the second or last Tuesday of every month.

Next market // Tuesday 12th April

Free // opens at 6.30am

home: featured [ Found ]

After a recent visit to Bath we came across Found – a great looking contemporary shop full of an eclectic mix of stationary, homeware, clothing and more.
Owned by Olivia Brewer and Nik Blake, it’s described as a ‘mini department store’ which we would agree with. You enter into gifts and stationary, through to tableware and homeware and at the back is clothing and accessories.
The hand selected pieces all work cohesively together creating a very pleasurable shopping experience. It’s hard not to pick up and feel everything as you go round.
Found also has an online shop worth checking out if your not in Bath. But if you are planning a visit then you must pop into this one of a kind store.
