Visitors will also be treated to some special exhibitions at the fair: Mayflower Antiques will be displaying rare Spanish and Portuguese colonial pieces, while Shaw Edwards Antiques will be showing a collection of primitive, mostly Welsh chairs.

The fair runs from 17th yo 19th November and if you visit cotswold-antiques-art.com you can register for a complimentary ticket for two people.
