A relative newcomer to the world of antiques and flea markets, the first Halesworth Brocante was held in March 2016. One of the reasons for starting this flea market was to hopefully increase footfall in the town, and it has certainly done that. Halesworth Brocante is now a regular monthly event (except in winter) and is one of the most popular flea markets in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex.
Halesworth Brocante is held at The Old Print Works, which is in the centre of the town and therefore very easy to find. It is covered, which guarantees that the flea market will take place rain or shine, and is surrounded by plenty of parking for keen bargain hunters. The Old Print Works is also a large building, and although there are currently around 40 regular stallholders, the growing popularity of Halesworth Brocante should soon help to fill all the available stalls.
Halesworth Brocante offers a truly eclectic mix of goods for sale. There are many superb antiques to be found, as well as a huge range of random collectables, with other curiosities and vintage items thrown in. Visitors can find collectable tea sets, vintage designer furniture, gardening items, candlesticks, silverware, glassware, vintage clothing, jewellery, vintage toys, old telephones and some lovely handicrafts and unique decorative items. It is a really interesting market to browse and will entertain shoppers of all tastes.
Due to the intimate size of Halesworth Brocante, it is possible to get to know many of the traders if you become a regular visitor. The dealers are all very friendly and informative to shoppers, whatever their level of antique expertise! It has a reputation for being welcoming to all, is a very child-friendly fair and should be a must for anyone in the area.
