Yesterday, Clare and I headed to the NEC for Antiques For Everyone. If you believe the write up then there is something to suit every budget. This isn't the case. What you get is a lot of stand offish dealers charging huge prices for silverware, paintings, glassware etc.
Don't get me wrong there are some lovely items and it's nice to have a stroll around looking at the stuff on offer. My favourites being the art deco lamps and statues and a 17th century map of Warwickshire. Yesterday was quite quiet unlike other events I've been to so it was actually quite a nice way to spend a Sunday.
These shows run throughout the year and you can usually pick up free tickets. The only thing I would say is, that unless you have a substantial amount of money, don't expect to come away with much.
