Hello all! Just a little review here to show what our August Antiques Fair looked like. I have shown a few of the stands, not all of them but maybe this will encourage a visit? We return to Bibury on the 1st of September maybe see you then? Regards, Andy

Flaming June!

Our Bibury Antiques Fair has it’s next showing for this year in just under a week from now, on Sunday June 2nd! We open, as ever at 10am and close about 4pm, as we often have a few visitors around ten past 4, as visitors walk past on their way to their cars to go home. So, last minute deals can be struck, and taken away. Here’s a few photographs of our April event for you to see. There’s only 4 chairs left now, so shout if you want them! The Hall really does look good now it has had a tidy up, the fresh paint and the clean floor make the place quite light and refreshing. Hope that you like them. For those who are wondering, “Flaming June!” was an old saying to refer to the heat of the month, I’m not sure that still stands these days, but maybe we will soon find out! Regards, Andy.

  • July 7th, another Antiques Fair!

    Hello again! Well, how fast the months go! We return to Bibury this coming Sunday July 7th. Although we cannot guarantee the weather, I’m sure it could be a great day, especially if visitors coming to Bibury leave with a treasure, something to remind them of their lovely day by the river, wandering around the…

/ Bibury Antiques Fair & Andy Briggs trading as Echo Antiques / Leave a comment

Hello all! I am pleased to say that we return to The Village Hall in Bibury this coming Sunday, April 7th. Please call in and peruse, perhaps even a purchase, from our fabulous stalls, we are only a small event, and we are only show on Sundays, once a month from April to November, sometimes we do a December event as a “Special”, but we cannot guarantee it! So, pop in a find something, many visitors do, some also call me a few days after to get it posted as they regret not buying it on the day, mostly that is jewellery for a special secret engagement, birthday or something special, so quite fun to be a part of someone’s big day! Here’s a few photos’ of last year. Regards, Andy.

Bibury Antiques Fair Returns this month!

Bibury Village Hall Refurb

/ Bibury Antiques Fair & Andy Briggs trading as Echo Antiques / Leave a comment

Hello again! I’m pleased to say that the Bibury Antiques Fair is coming back to a recently refurbished space! The walls and stage front have been repainted, and the floor sanded and revarnished, so the whole area is much brighter! So, pop into see us when we return in April, yes, still some time yet, but I do have a couple of small items almost ready to exhibit there, as do some of my colleagues. Here’s a few photographs of the hall, although empty, one can almost smell the new paint! See you soon folks! Regards, Andy.

September’s here again!

Wow! Autumn feels as though it really is here now as the dampness rises from the fields in the early evening as a wonderful magical mist. However, this is making the evenings cooler, so if you get a chance, call into Bibury Antiques Fair this coming Sunday, 4th September, we are open from 10am to 4pm. My breakfast this morning was Trout, with bread and butter, and Bibury has the oldest Trout Farm in England, and I can recommend it! So, there’s food to buy in Bibury, as well as antiques this Sunday, and if the weather is good, there’s the option of just sitting on a wall and watching the world go by whilst enjoying a coffee from the cafe Twig, or lunch at The Catherine Wheel, or checking out one of the many venues in the area for a future wedding or party! Lots to do near here, and some of the short walks do go through interesting villages nearby, some have pubs along the way too! Naturally, an item from our fair could be a wonderful gift for yourself or a friend, and could bring many happy memories of the day for years to come, so I hope you find something! We are coming to the end of a Bank Holiday weekend, but “Other weekends are available”! Regards, Andy.

Good Luck Charm As We Return!

Hello all! Well, we are returning to Bibury Village Hall this coming Sunday, June 6th. Maybe we will see you there? It seems like a while, so I’ll remind you, we open at 10am and close at 4pm. On offer by our dealers, there will be silver, jewellery, pictures, brass and copper items, and even a few items of furniture, and no doubt more! Here’s a photo of a Good Luck Charm, and I think the whole Country could do with some Good Luck, maybe it’s arriving slowly! Best Wishes. Andy.

Walking Cane

/ Bibury Antiques Fair & Andy Briggs trading as Echo Antiques / Leave a comment

Hello folks, hope you having a good day. Here I have a walking cane (or stick to most folks!), which I saw a similar one ion the television the other day featuring a well known Belgian detective. Here it is, and if you are worried about the ivory tusks, well I made a replacement from antler, which as you know falls off every year as it falls off naturally, and as such I have often used this over the 30 years I have been restoring furniture! Anyway, here are a few photographs, this cane will be on show this weekend at an antiques fair near Banbury, it’s called ” Antiques at the Holt”. Maybe I’ll see you there?

“Bowled Over!”

/ Bibury Antiques Fair & Andy Briggs trading as Echo Antiques / Leave a comment

Well, Bibury Antiques Fair is having a break until the spring…….. BUT…….. Should people have time over the weekend of 23rd and 24th November, there’s an antiques fair on at The Holt Hotel, Steeple Aston, Oxfordshire. I’m bowled over, and going to be there again! Oh yes, and I’ll have this Sycamore Dairy Bowl with me, and I think it’s got a good colour and patina, but I’ll have to let you decide if you agree! This bowl is about 12″ in diameter, and 3 1/2″ high. Here it is….. The link for the Holt event is http://www.antiques-at-the-holt.co.uk/ Maybe see you there, and if I remember rightly, the steak sandwiches are very nice there too!

Wedding Ceremony Plaque?

/ Bibury Antiques Fair & Andy Briggs trading as Echo Antiques / Leave a comment

Aha! Here we are again. Well, this was photographed at our last event in Bibury, and we are returning there on September 1st. Won’t be long now!

So, just in case you don’t know, this was taken from a piano. Marshall and Rose were early 20th C piano people. There’s lots of info on the internet about them, so I need not redo it. Just thought if someone called Marshall was marrying Rose wouldn’t it be a great for the table plan!

Here it is…….

Hope it makes you smile. Maybe see you soon, perhaps in September, or October, or our final month for this year in Bibury, November!

All the best, Andy

All “Ship-Shape” for Bibury on Sunday.

Hello again!

We return to Bibury this Sunday, August 4th, from 10am untill 4pm. Easily found in Bibury, as it’s not a big place, but steer oneself towards the river, and we are at the opposite end of the village from The Trout Farm!

As ever, I rarely know what the dealers will bring, and I found this photo of an item which may well help steer you towards us! Have a good day! Regards, Andy.

All ship-shape for Bibury!!
