Hello again!

Time rolls on as ever and our next event in Bibury Village Hall will be on May 7th, open from 10am to 4pm.

We shall have a great display for you, and we have a couple of new dealers to us, to fill the gap made by others family commitments, so a surprise for all of us.

I have been busy doing a few restoration projects and some of my work will be on show, meanwhile this is a selection from John’s stand, he always has some interesting things, treen, ceramics, glass and metalware being amongst them.

Regards to all, Andy.

Morning Folks!

Well, our second event this year in Bibury, and I think it went well, we will be back on May 7th.

Despite the many distractions that were around on the day, other events near and far, we put on a great show and had many very welcome complimentary comments.

Here is a picture of  The Flying Scotsman, I featured this as last week saw this train steaming along the Carlisle Settle line after recently being reopened after over a year of repairs to the line.

Have a good month and hope to see you soon!

Regards, Andy.

Cornucopia Corner!

Wow! There’s a word I don’t use much!

But I took this photograph of a corner stand at Bibury (was the December fair!) and thought that it should be shared as I think it looks good!

Why not pop along this Sunday to see what we have on offer, as there should be 2 new dealers with us!

I’ll be there, as ever, with a few of my bits and bobs too, including an oak longcase clock if I can fit it in the car!

Whatever you do, have a good weekend, and don’t forget “The Boat Race!”

Regards, Andy.

Hi Folks!

April 2nd, yes this coming Sunday, sees us returning to Bibury Village Hall where Matt will be on show with a couple of post boxes, as well as other items too.

Dealers will be there selling glassware, jewellery, mirrors, treen, candlesticks, and all sorts of treasures to be enjoyed, and kept as a momento of the day or weekend!

Hope you can join us on your travels through Gloucestershire.

Open 10am to 4pm, easily found, we are a nice walk away from The Swan Hotel, The Catherine Wheel Inn, William Morris Tea Room, The Trout Farm, where lunches, nibbles and drinks can all be enjoyed.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Hello Folks!

Whilst driving towards Bibury early this evening, I came across a field of lovely cattle, and several calves. Stopping to watch them, they came over to see what I was doing just over the wall from their field. 

Hope you like and if driving into Bibury from Burford, keep an eye out on the left hand side, and they may well greet you too!

Have a good week, and should you be passing close to Bibury on Sunday April 2nd, pop into The Village Hall to see what we have on offer for sale, we may only be in a small hall, but it’s a lovely place and we have some great stock!

Here is someone that can’t join in at The Hall!

Regards, Andy.

A “Little Saw”after the fair!

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

Hello all!

Thanks to all the dealers, visitors and customers that made our first fair of the year in Bibury a very pleasant event. Reports of dealers selling, and bags being seen leaving, were obvious. We seemed to be steady for most of the day, not a heaving busy fair, but the majority of visitors left with a momento of the day!

This was what I came home with, and I’m really looking forward to using it, a small saw with a home made guard, after a clean up, I think this will do many small jobs repairing and making drawers and the like.

Why not pop along next month, April 2nd, and see what you can go home with?

Oh yes, and I can recommend the pizza at The Catherine Wheel!

Regards, Andy.

Thank Someone its Friday!

Well, it’s Friday!

Sunday sees us set up the Bibury Antiques Fair, and I hope the weather is better, otherwise I’ll bring a mop for the floor!

We hope to be a fabulous display that can’t be resisted by visitors, and will always help carry items to cars once bought! Bring a brolly!

Pop in and say hi, hope that you have a good start to the weekend. Here is a photo of one of the stalls last December.

Regards, Andy.
