The 17th & 18th May sees the much anticipated return of the Decorative Home & Salvage Show to Ripley Castle.
 
Now going into its third year, the Ripley Castle event is set to be the best yet, with the welcome return of salvage show regulars such as Southport Architectural Salvage, Abacus Architectural Antiques, Search & Rescue Antiques and, of course, Chris Holmes Decorative Interiors.
 
We are also joined this year by some wonderful new recruits! English Garden Statuary, a family run business who manufacture quality, handcrafted, vintage style garden statuary and Lady Norfolk & Lord Rust who are going to treat us to 'the perfect mix of attractive up-cycled furniture and rusty and crusty relics from yesterday'. We are also really pleased to have so many local new additions to the event. These include the Antiques, Curio & Salvage Barn and French Loveliness, both from the beautiful spa town of Harrogate, just down the road from Ripley.
 
If you have never visited this event before, expect to find anything from industrial, decorative and architectural antiques, wrought iron garden furniture and giant stone statuary to reclaimed hurricane roof tiles, intricately carved doorknobs dating back to the early 19th century and beautiful decorative textiles and furnishings.
 
The show is now fully booked with approximately 100 dealers. Here's a list of some of the exhibitors in attendance, there will be many more to see at the show!
