Among these are Meg Armstrong who travels up from Cornwall, Brian Page Fine Art from Lincolnshire and Priory Prints and Finders Corner, both from Inverness. Making their debut this month are White Antiques from Northumberland who deal in ceramics and glass and David Deacon from County Durham whose speciality is fishing tackle and what is termed piscatoriana.
Incidentally, as Naworth Castle is not open to the public the £4 fair admission gives visitors a rare chance to see the extensive restoration work undertaken over recent years by owners Philip and Elizabeth Howard.
Naworth fair a rare opportunity
NORTH Yorkshire-based organisers Galloway Antiques Fairs continue a busy summer from August 29 to 31 with their fair at Naworth Castle, Brampton in Cumbria. Space limits this event to just 28 dealers but they obviously do business as a good many of them have been with Naworth since the first in 1996.
