The Garden provides a stunning and iconic setting for this popular event featuring more than 50 stands, all undercover inside various venues around the attraction.

 

There will be a huge range of stalls in the wonderful surrounds of the Great Glasshouse; inside the Regency splendour of Principality House; in Theatr Botanica; and in the Garden marquee; and there will be some rare Nantgarw porcelain on display.

 

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.
