The Vintage Bazaar comes to Hampshire!



 Clare and I are pleased to announce The Vintage Bazaar at Hartley Wintney! This beautiful building is a lovely combination of the old and the new coming together to provide an ideal situation for our fair.


 The Victoria Hall was designed in the late 1890's by TE Collcutt at the height of his career. The building ran over budget, but the day was saved by the generosity of Mr Kenwood, Sir Henry Mildmay and Lord Calthorpe. The building was completed and opened by Lady Calthorpe on October 20th 1898 to much acclaim.




The exterior is a pleasing example of The Arts and Crafts style. Inside the structure has a spacious and modern feel which is a result of restoration in the late 1990's.



 Below, you can see the doors which lead into The Victoria Hall, the leaded windows would originally have been on the outside. The space is divided into different areas, which is an obvious change from our fair at the Cheese and Grain in Frome. More to be announced on the Vintage Bazaar blog very soon.

Hi Lizzie,
Don't know if your comments box is the best place to ask this but I'd love to have a table at the Hartney Witney fair in September - if you have space and you think I am suitable!
Happy New Year
Jennie

Happy New Year to you Lizzie.. and what a good way to start the year. Hartley Wintney was once part of my old stomping ground.. and what a fabulous venue for a fair.
