ONE of the biggest antiques fairs Carmarthenshire has ever seen takes place at the National Botanic Garden of Wales this weekend.

There will be a huge range of stalls in the stunning surrounds of the Great Glasshouse, the regency splendour of Principality House and in the Garden marquee; and there will be some rare Nantgarw porcelain on display.

Antiques are proving very popular at the Garden with one recent weekend event clocking up a mammoth 6,800 visitors over the two days.

Organiser Brita Rogers, of Derwen Antiques, said: “The fair will feature more than 50 stalls showcasing Welsh areas of collecting including pottery, jewellery, art and furniture. There will also be paintings and textiles – with a range of Welsh blankets on display.”

Brita is promising a wonderful spectacle with a huge array of styles and themes – from ancient Chinese, retro 60s and country farmhouse.

The Antiques Fair runs from 10am until 4.30pm on Saturday and Sunday. There is plenty of free parking. Admission to the Garden is £4.
