There’s magic in England in June. The roses are in full bloom, the countryside is lush and impossibly green, and every lane seems to lead somewhere charming: a hidden inn, a quiet village, or, if you know where to look, a dealer’s barn filled with treasures that's only viewed by people in the trade.
Our 2026 Antique Buying Trip in England captures all of that and then some.
This six-day sourcing journey takes us straight into the heart of the south of England, timed perfectly with the second-largest antiques fair in Europe. It’s the kind of fair that serious collectors plan their calendars around, with fields of dealers, rare stock you won’t find online and the buzz that only happens when thousands of antiques converge in one place. If you’ve ever wanted to see the English antiques world at its best, this is it.
But the fair is only the beginning.
What makes this trip special are the places most people never get to see. Private warehouses. Dealer-only shops. Barns on quiet lanes where the good pieces are tucked away, waiting for the right person to spot them. These aren’t tourist stops or polished showrooms. They’re real working spaces, filled with history, character and the thrill of the unexpected.
Between sourcing days, we slow down just enough to enjoy what makes this part of England unforgettable. Long drives through the countryside, cosy English inns and meals that are a reward after a full day of treasure hunting. There’s nothing quite like ending a sourcing day at a centuries-old pub while the roses climb the walls outside.
If you’ve ever dreamed of sourcing antiques in England with guidance, access and a bit of adventure, this trip is exactly that. A blend of inspiration, expertise and the joy of discovering pieces you simply wouldn’t find on your own.
England in June is beautiful.
