Fun of the Fair

Set in Royal Tunbridge Wells’ historic tree-lined Georgian colonnade, the Pantiles Antiques & Vintage Fair will host 50-plus antique and vintage dealers over the first weekend of September. With a rich abundance of cafés, bars and restaurants that have seating spilling out onto the streets, the area sets a scene that resembles one you might expect to find in the south of France. Look out for celebrity antiques experts, such as Eric Knowles and Richard Price, doing valuations at the event. Free entry. Visit lovefairs.com for more information.
