The Cotswolds (/ˈkɒtswoʊldz/ KOTS-wohldz, /-wəldz/ -wəldz) is an area in south central England containing the Cotswold Hills, a range of rolling hills which rise from the meadows of the upper Thames to an escarpment, known as the Cotswold Edge, above the Severn Valley and Evesham Vale. The area is defined by the bedrock of Jurassic limestone that creates a type of grassland habitat rare in the UK and that is quarried for the golden coloured Cotswold stone. It contains unique features derived from the use of this mineral; the predominantly rural landscape contains stone-built villages, historical towns and stately homes and gardens. The population of the District is about 84,000.

We were advised by the Tourist Information Centre to visit here. How right they were! What an amazing experience walking into a time warp. The Hart family have been working here since very early in the c.20th when they uprooted from London and came here with the Arts & Crafts movement. Talking with these amazing artisans whilst they beat and file the silver to shape using tools that are well over 100 years old is simply awe inspiring. They are so proud of their roots - rightly so! The finished products are beautiful works of art.

Fifi's Fancy Furniture was created to indulge my passion for all things beautiful. It was a way of combining my life long interest in design, furniture, colour, texture, upcycling, recycling and revamping furniture and artifacts that would sit well in traditional or contemporary settings alike.We are official stockists of The Frenchic Furniture Paint. We offer Beginner and advanced furniture painting courses and bookable drop in painting sessions.

There has been a weekly Antiques & Collectors' Market in Cirencester's Corn Hall every Friday for more than 40 years. The market starts setting up from just after six every Friday morning, and officially opens at eight. Enthusiasts and collectors will find items here to suit all pockets, from a fiver to five hundred, and ranging from vintage and Art Deco, through to ancient and medieval. Glass, Ceramics and Silver can be found in abundance, as well as Jewellery, Metalwares, Furniture and works of art. Some of the dealers also specialise in Vintage stock, from the 1950s and 60s, including fashion, hats, accessories and costume jewellery. There are usually around 50 dealers, and entry is free. There is excellent town-centre parking.

The Malt House Emporium has relocated to Ashchurch, Tewkesbury. With plenty of free parking and a tea room on site you have all at your convenience to spend a relaxing and enjoyable few hours in our Emporium of Interiors & Antiques. You'll find a superb mix of Antiques mixed with Contemporary Interiors, a Food Hall with unique products and even the niche Collectibles & Records. Open 7 days.
Spent 3 hours browsing there today. Driven past several times a week for the last year but didn’t recognise the name Malthouse and didn’t realise it was an excellent antiques emporium. So much to see and much of it reasonably priced. Well worth a visit. The cafe is excellent for a drink and a quick bite.

This is the fourth visit to the New Gloucester Antiques Centre for me! I was so thrilled to learn it had reopened after the lockdown. We browsed various areas - I love the ceramics and jewellery, particularly the brooches, and my friend goes for the more "boyish" stuff like militaria and rainwayana. He bought a rare toy wagon, and I bought several brooches (some are Lea Stein-type lucite items) and a couple of pairs of dangly earrings. There is a very cute cafe on the first floor with very reasonable prices. We also ventured to the top floor to inspect the beams which are 15th century. This house used to be a grain store in years gone by. Full of history, of course. It's been featured on Bargain Hunt four times up to press! There is a beautiful garden at the rear of the property where we sat awhile girding our loins before a second onslaught on the collectibles, and actually had the pleasure of meeting and having a chat with John the owner of this property and adjacent buildings. We soaked up the fabulous atmosphere sitting there in the beautiful back garden with its view of nearby Gloucester Cathedral. It won't be long before we come back, I'm absolutely positive.

Loved visiting Tara's which is situated in the Market Square and is on three floors. All merchandise is very well spread out and presented and the range of stock is huge. I managed to find something that I had been looking for, and the shopkeeper luckily enough was the dealer of the product and gave me a very reasonable price for my piece. I would definitely visit again as I am sure I only saw the tip of the iceberg!!!! All Covid restrictions are in place and observed.
