FAIR NEWS … A snowy image of the Rose Garden ga

FAIR NEWS …

A snowy image of the Rose Garden gate at Eridge Park to wish you a very HAPPY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Thank you to everyone who came to the fair in May and to all our fabulous exhibitors who helped to create such a successful fair.

This was Caroline Zoob’s last year as co-organiser of The Decorative Living Fair. We cannot thank Caroline @carolinezoobdesign enough for all her incredible hard work, vision and creativity over the last seventeen years. She will be much missed as an organiser but we’re pleased to say she intends to return as an exhibitor with her stitching colleagues in the Workshop Tent.

The fair is taking a sabbatical for a year. So there will be NO Decorative Living Fair at Eridge Park in May 2024.

But we plan to be back on 9 & 10th May 2025 and very much look forward to seeing you then.

With very best wishes,

The Decorative Living Fair Team

Our caterers @hattonsofroyaltunbridgewells have been super busy as they’ve taken over running @thedeerparkcafeeridge and opening day is TOMORROW! (Thursday 18th May)
TN3 9JB

The setting for the cafe is a magical pocket of the Eridge Estate with deer roaming by and only just around the corner from where the fair took place. With Dan Hatton at the helm, the food will be delicious: locally sourced and seasonal … just the perfect place to meet up with friends

We wish them every success with their new venture and will definitely be chilling out there soon!

One of the hardest parts of organising @decorative

One of the hardest parts of organising @decorativelivingfair is every year having to choose a best stand in show winner as everybody makes such an amazing effort with their stand

Special mention go to @llewelynandcompany for their gorgeous stand and to Rune from @norse_vintage for the originality of his stand as he had chosen a Japanese theme

This year the winning stand is one that has consistently been one of the best over the many that they have exhibited with us. Many congratulations to Barbara & John @woodpigeon_1 & @jatdecorative … Thank you for always creating the most beautiful display in the Conservatory each year with your subtle restoration of furniture, creative re-purposing of found decorative pieces and immaculate styling

Wonderfully styled stand at the @decorativelivingfair by @tara.franklin_antiques and
@weatheredandworn. You could spend a day sifting through it, taking it in. Both have recently been to France and the stand is packed full of textiles and decorative antiques, styled only these two can, blending colours and textures effortlessly. Just breathtaking. #decorativeantiques #antiquetextiles #toiledejouy #brocantestyle @hoof.antiques_brocante

Much as we love real dogs, and anyone who follows

Much as we love real dogs, and anyone who follows @hetty_purbrick knows we really do, we regret they are not allowed at the fair. Eridge Park is a deer park and the fair is laid out on the main lawn and there are insurance issues. So sorry!
BTW this sketch is by @pope.janine who is exhibiting at the fair and will be sketching when she is not teaching some seriously clever and useful ways with paper in her daily workshop each morning. #rovingartist #illustration #paperart #concertinabooks

French table heading straight for @decorativelivingfair this Friday and Saturday

The lovely Amy from @amy_brocanteliving has just got back from a trip to France trawling the markets for the fair

She has been exhibiting with us since she was 18 years old and won the prize for best dressed stand on her first visit!

Photos of her stylish stand are always used in our publicity, and this year her gorgeous image of two stone doves is on the front page of our flier (see photos)

Amy’s stand is literally a magnet for buyers, so make sure you buy an Early Bird ticket for Friday - tickets can be booked online via the link in our bio above

This is not just a basket to lose; this is a @crafty_basketry foraging basket, an heirloom of the future, woven on her plank by master-basket maker Marianne van Niekerken. Functionality is key but texture and colour are also important features of her sought-after pieces. Log baskets, laundry baskets, flower gathering baskets: “I’ve done quite a few unusual commissions, from kitting out a boot room to bespoke baskets for boats and vintage aeroplanes. All great fun!” Marianne will be selling and demonstrating her ancient craft at the @decorativelivingfair on Friday and Saturday. You can book tickets now - link in bio. #willowweaving #basketmakersofinstagram #foragingbasket #laundrybasket #bespokebaskets
