As much as I try to save select Tuesday mornings for Sunbury Antiques Market at Kempton Park and Sandown Racecourses, there are times these dates don't work or it is simply too cold, wet or lately even hot to go. A visit to Farnham does the trick:
The Antiques Warehouse — Located on a farm, the two large Elizabethan barns are full of wall-to-wall (literally!) antique treasures. Items include vintage furniture, garden items, household decor, jewelry, paintings and more. If you have attention for detail, like the thrill of the hunt and/or have a good decorative eye, this is the place for you. There are countless items — all with potential for the right buyer.
The owners could not be friendlier or more helpful. It is no wonder that episodes of the popular BBC Antiques Road Trip have been filmed there. As a bonus, on weekend afternoons and bank holidays they also have live piano music and serve homemade cakes, coffee and tea.

Packhouse — If The Antiques Warehouse is a bit reminiscent of your grandmother's attic, then Packhouse is like visiting your shabby chic aunt. Voted Surrey's Best Interiors 2018 and located in close proximity to The Antique Warehouse, Packhouse lives up to its motto of "lose yourself amongst beautiful things.
There are 60+ modern to vintage vendors that decorate various sections throughout the 400-year old Grade II-listed multi-level building. Despite visiting multiple times, I find myself turned around — apparently others do too and they have a handy map you can pickup next to the till by the entry. Conveniently located next door is a gastropub, Bears which is open for light bites, lunch and even dinner.

The only downside (if any) is I rarely leave empty-handed!
