WINCHESTER residents were out and about on the first day of 2018 looking for hidden gems at Winchester Antiques and Decorative Art Fair.

Regular dealers and enthusiasts along with additional traders came together to bring more than 150 stands to visitors at River Park Leisure Centre.

On offer was mid-20th century collectibles, ‘kitchenalia’, retro and vintage items and vinyl records.

The fair has been running for more 30 years and it is established on the antiques circuit as one of the best for New Year’s Day.

Previously run by Magnam Fairs until the proprietor retired, this year it was organised by Jackie Edwards of ACVR Events.

For the rest of 2018 and beyond, Grandma’s Attic Fairs will be taking the reins, as well as organising additional fairs in the Winchester area.
