Spring 2026| Antique Buying Trips

Who can join in on the fun?

Anyone! If you’ve ever dreamed of a trip to the English countryside to shop for antiques, grab a friend and join us! We keep our trips small — no more than three guests.

Why such a small group? Our trips are designed for those who don’t love the typical big-group experience with shuttles and buses. They enjoy dining sans a table of 12 with a pre fixe menu. Our clients enjoy more intimate travel experiences. We want our trips to feel like a few friends exploring the countryside together, discovering fabulous antiques along the way.

Some guests come to fill a container, while others simply want to make memories and pick up a few special treasures. Most guests share of love of beautiful interiors, design, and antiques!

When are the trips?

shopping and fairs…

We will wander through quaint shops, dig through treasure filled warehouses, peek into private workshops, and explore the most charming antique stores. We make appointments to go to spots only open to the trade. We mix high end to train your eye to the best and affordable to stretch your money further. We only hit the good spots (trust us we have vetted them for you as to not waste precious time).

THE FAIRS!!! There’s nothing quite like waking up before dawn to head to an antique fair. Why such an early start? Because there’s no worse feeling than arriving late and spotting your dream find already marked sold — or, even worse, rolling away in someone else’s buggy.

We’ve got you covered: your fair fees are included, and shipper will be on-site at the fair to collect your treasures. We’ll help you tag and organize any items headed for an international shipping container. Each of our spring‍ trips includes a fair.

What is the Cost of the Trip?

Tell me about the food…

Mornings begin with a hearty hot English breakfast, the perfect start to a day of treasure hunting. Whether you’re team custom blended tea or frothy hot latte, we’ve got you covered. While we’re out shopping, we grab a light bite, a snack, or a cream tea.

In the evenings, we dine like locals — in cozy pubs, charming farmhouses, and historic manor houses. We favor relaxed, comfortable spots serving fresh, seasonal, farm-to-table fare (bonus points if the garden is right on the property!).

We have found our trips accommodate a variety of dietary needs. Our eateries offer menus with broad choices for nearly every type of diet. England is often more allergy and intolerance friendly than the U.S. when it comes to dining.

Of course, no trip is complete without a stop to stock up on chocolates, biscuits, crisps, wine, local cider, and healthy snacks.

Over the course of five days, you’ll be immersed in stunning architecture, dreamy gardens, and interiors that make you want to redecorate your whole house. We are luxury linens and fancy spa products kind of travelers. We live for the special details that set our boutique hotels apart. We stay in a mix of posh pubs, historic country estates, former manor houses, and 5 star hotels. This is a full service trip. We love a good turn down service, fresh linens, and beds made daily for us! This is a vacation after all.

You’ll stay in chic spaces updated by British designers- where charm and history are beautifully preserved, but with just the right modern touches. While we always include time in the beloved Cotswolds, each trip has its own unique itinerary, exploring different regions where the shopping is top-notch and the antique fairs are treasure troves. Each trip follows a slightly different itinerary, depending on where the antique fairs are held the week you’re there.

Accomodations and Locations…

We offer you options! You are never required or expected to ship your items home in a container on our trips.

Upon booking, we’ll provide insider guides to help you decide the best way to bring your treasures home — whether that’s in your suitcase, by mail, or through an international shipper. (You’re also welcome to select your own shipper if you prefer.)

Our goal is to seamlessly get your goods home by helping you in tagging and completing your shipping paperwork, making the process simple and stress-free. Whether you choose to send a few special pieces or sixty-seven boxes of treasures, you’ll pay only for what you ship — with no hidden per-item charges.

How does Shipping Work?

You’ll want to fly into Heathrow Airport, as our trip begins around 9 a.m. on the first day. When it’s time to head home, you’ll also fly out of Heathrow — midday or afternoon flights work perfectly on our last day together.

Thinking of staying on in London?
We’ve got you covered! Our little black book of London favorites — all personally tested and adored — includes a design-centric London itinerary. Expect curated stops like Design Centre Chelsea Harbour and a stroll down Pimlico Road, paired with insider tips on where to stay, sip coffee, and soak up the city.
