Dealers are rested from the slow winter months and eager to sell again, so stock is fresh and plentiful, exactly the right moment to be out looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOur journey begins as you arrive at Leeds Bradford Airport, where you are taken to our first stop and the afternoon is yours to settle in at your own pace. That evening, we come together for a welcome dinner as a group, a chance to meet one another and begin the adventure ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFrom there, we make our home in the Peak District, rolling hills and dry stone walls, the classic English countryside at its finest. A full day follows here with dealer visits in places where remarkable pieces still turn up for those who know where to look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe continue east into Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, long the heart of England's antiques trade, through market towns and antique centers before an evening in Lincoln's old medieval quarter, its cobbled streets and cathedral close by for the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThursday is the reason many of you are here: the Newark International Antiques and Collectors Fair, one of Europe's largest, an 84-acre site filled with dealers from across Britain and beyond. We arrive early, go in with a plan, and give it the full day it deserves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFrom Newark we head north into the Yorkshire Dales for our final two nights. Friday brings a surprise built into this trip, something I have arranged especially for this group in the heart of the Dales. I am keeping the details to myself until you are booked, but I think it will be the part you remember longest. The rest of the day belongs to the Dales themselves, the stone villages and long valley views, before a final dinner together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOn our last morning, after a proper English breakfast, we stop in Haworth, the moorland village where the Brontë sisters lived and wrote, before returning to Leeds for our goodbyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is the England I call home, and I would love to show it to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHistoric accommodations in the Peak District and Yorkshire Dales (private or shared options available)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGround transportation during official trip dates, including pickup and drop-off at Leeds Bradford\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBreakfast, light lunch and dinner throughout the experience\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEntry and access to the Newark International Antiques Fair and other events during the trip\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCurated market towns, fairs and dealer visits\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePersonalized guidance and sourcing support throughout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA welcome pack to help you prepare and source with ease\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAccess during the planning process for questions and preparation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGuests arrange their own flights to and from Leeds Bradford and are responsible for travel insurance and the cost of personal purchases and shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eProfessional shippers are available in the region for larger purchases.
