点评:If like me, you’ve watched far too much Antiques Roadshow, then you’ll also love this enormous antiques centre with three floors of treasures.
It’s an excellent rainy day activity and I’d saved my visit for the inevitable rainy day during our Cotswolds stay. It’s happily filled in quite some time, browsing and reminiscing over nostalgic finds.
Like many big centres, lots of different dealers are housed under the one roof. I believe they have about 30 dealers here so there is a lot of variety. It’s a real Aladdin’s cave. The pieces range from antique to vintage/retro. Most are smaller pieces - china, glassware, collectibles, artwork and books. There’s very little furniture.
It is something of a rabbit warren but this appealed to me and I found it fun to explore.
If you are on the antiques trail, there are several other antique shops in the village.
PARKING: You can park in the market square, right outside the antique centre. It’s free but it is limited to 2 hours. Instead we parked in the nearby Tesco carpark. Its a short walk into the square but we could park there all day for free.
翻译:如果你和我一样,看过太多《古董路演》(Antiques Roadshow),那么你一定会爱上这个巨大的古董中心,它有三层楼,珍藏着各种珍品。
雨天来这里玩真是太棒了,我把这次参观安排在了我们科茨沃尔德之旅不可避免的那个雨天。逛逛逛,回忆一下那些怀旧的发现,真是让人乐开了怀。
和许多大型古董中心一样,这里汇聚了各种各样的商铺。我估计这里大概有30家商铺,种类繁多。这里就像一个真正的阿拉丁神殿。从古董到复古/怀旧,应有尽有。大多数都是些小件物品——瓷器、玻璃器皿、收藏品、艺术品和书籍。家具很少。
这里有点像兔子窝,但这吸引了我,我觉得探索起来很有趣。
如果你也喜欢古董,村里还有其他几家古董店。
停车:您可以在古董中心外面的市场广场停车。免费,但限停2小时。我们把车停在了附近的Tesco停车场。步行一小段路就能到广场,但我们可以在那里免费停一整天。
