The fifth-ever Antiques@TheHolt took place over the weekend of November 21st & 22nd 2015. There had been a number of changes since the previous fair in March, and as well as some new faces among the list of dealers, we had also changed the layout of the third room to make the tables there more accessible (see Venue). As usual, we hosted around 40 dealers over the course of the two-days, and this page includes brief descriptions of their typical stock, as well as a selection of images. Click on the thumbnails to view enlargements. The next fair will be in March 2016.

If you are a dealer, and would like to know more about booking a table for future events, please Contact us, and we will send you the appropriate information.

A regular visitor to Antiques@TheHolt, this will be Andy's first time as a dealer, although he regularly stands at other major antiques & glass fairs.

He now deals mostly in the works of Michael Harris as well as art glass by Julia Donnelly, Anthony Stern, Annette Meech and others.

Arcadia Antiques - General Antiques, Collectables and Curios
Andrew Long has yet to miss an Antiques@TheHolt and we're delighted he'll be back again this November. His stock invariably includes an interesting selection of antiques and curios, including clocks, musical instruments, glass, ceramics and some select items of militaria. A Cotswold-based dealer, Andrew is also a regular at the weekly Cirencester Antiques & Collectables Market.

Brook Collectables - Val Sparks
Val Sparks will be on her own this November, with Graham Draper unwell - we wish him a speedy recovery. We will miss his astonishing display of 20th century glass, but Val will more than compensate for his absence with her carefully selected mix of period furniture, wooden boxes and treen, as well as items of glasswares and ceramics.

Val can be contacted through this website

Alan Bunce - Antique & Contemporary Silverwares
We are very sorry to have to relate that Alan has been forced to cancel this November, but the news is good. After surgery, he's on the mend, and we hope he'll be fit enough, not only to pay us a visit this month, but also take up his usual option for the next Antiques@TheHolt in March 2016. It's hard to imagine a Holt fair without his jaw-dropping array of silver!
