Experience the charm of the English Countryside

Stroll through Cotswold villages, hunt for antiques and art, unwind in centuries old pubs while soaking in all the flavors of enchanting England.

Autumn Trip Details:

  • A stone house exterior with a wooden door, surrounded by climbing vines, and a decorative wall-mounted lantern above the door, with two window panes on each side.

    WHO?

    If you love a trip to the English countryside to shop for antiques, then grab a friend. We cap trips at 4. Why such a small group? Based on past trips with large groups we have found smaller is better. The smaller size is perfect to help you navigate purchasing, measuring, photographing, and completing shipping paperwork. We try to avoid overwhelming cute English antique stores and storeowners.

  • Flower garden with yellow, orange, blue, and green plants in front of a brick and white building with a staircase.

    SAMPLE DAY ITINERARY?

    We start with an early breakfast then drive through the English countryside to where we will shop. We hit small stores, warehouses, and antique malls. We will be arriving for store openings, have a mid day snack or cream tea, and wrap up the afternoon shopping. We will return to the room to freshen up before a pub dinner.

  • A dining table setting with a white napkin, a butter packet, a butter knife, a fork, and a plate with floral and geometric decorative border, on a wooden table.

    FLEXIBLE ITINERARY?

    Can we take time off from shopping to relax and just be tourist? We’d love to! We’ve been to the spas, garden tours, historic homes, and walked the public paths and are happy to wrap up shopping early to take you to our favorite spots!

  • A row of green bushes and flowering plants along a sidewalk in front of a stone building with multiple windows.

    DID YOU SAY ANTIQUE FAIR?

    There is nothing more exciting than waking up before dawn to attend a fair. Why such an early bird? There’s no worse feeling than arriving late and finding your unicorn antique with a sold sign! Worse yet in someone else’s buggy. We will cover your fair fees and help you do all the legwork for the international shipping container.

  • A rustic wooden garden gate set against a stone wall, surrounded by lush green plants and purple flowering plants in a garden setting.

    HOW DO WE PREPARE FOR TRIP?

    We will have a zoom or teams meeting ahead of trip with guides including tips for packing, currency exchange, and shipping. During our trip we’ll go over the next day’s plans each night so that you know what to wear, what to bring, and what to expect at each shop (some haggle and some do not so we can save you the embarrassment.) We navigate helping you know your shipping options before you leave so you are ready to shop! We have been importing for years with multiple shippers and can break down your options.

  • Wooden door with black metal hinges and latch set in stone wall with ivy and flowering plants above and beside, small stone window with black grill, exterior light, garden in front.

    CAN YOU HELP US PLAN EXTRA DAYS?

    We have a two day, design centric London itinerary crafted with stops at Design Center Chelsea Harbor and a stroll down Pimlico Road. We break it down right to where to grab coffee and where to stay with actual design schemes as framed artwork!
