Dear Diva Readers,
I’m leaving today,
I want to be a part of it….
Newark, Newark…..
These vagabond shoes
They are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
Newark, Newark…..
I want to wake up in that city
That doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill
Top of the heap
My little town blues
They are melting away
I’m gonna make a brand new start of it
In old Newark………”
I’m utterly convinced old Blue Eyes got it wrong. He didn’t mean to say New York – he meant to say NEWARK!!! Not New Jersey, but England Baby!!! I just got my fair calendar in for next year’s Newark and I am dying of anticipation.
What’s Newark, you ask? The Newark International Antiques and Collectors Fair – the largest event of its kind in Europe – a world-wide phenomenon, a shopping experience that deserves its own song written by Frank Sinatra. This is one event that needs to be experienced to be believed!
Held at the Newark and Nottinghamshire Showground on an enormous 84 acre site, up to 4,000 stands attract thousands of dealers and buyers from around the globe every other month. With its vast number of stands, choice of product is never an issue – there is quite possibly every item you could imagine. From chandeliers and rugs, to sports memorabilia and paintings, not to mention the finest of antique furniture – the possibilities are endless! Antique fairs can be big and small, but only one can hold the ‘Europe’s largest’ crown – and that’s Newark.
Come one – come all, and come with The Antiques Diva® & Co to Newark. Join us on special Newark Tours!!!
