Arundel Festival & The Most Glorious Antiques Warehouse
Arundel Festival
Well .....the fireworks have gone off
The bunting is coming down,
Screamin Lez & The Mindbenders
have played
their finale.
Arundel Festival is over for another year.
The streets of the small town that for 10 days
is
host to thousands of festival goers
are now quiet.
There is no doubt it's a fantastic event.
If tiring. LOL
We had a good week with gallery trailers coming
to view the artists around our warehouses.
There were so many events around the town.......
I've lost count.....
Our friends Clare and Mike played outside the warehouse for two days.
Called themselves "MangeTout"
on account of their playing French Cafe music.
Some woman was most CROSS
as she sat down and ordered.
She thought it meant we were serving
Coffee/cakes and wine.
"Well, it's advertised." She insisted.
"I don't think it is." came my curt reply.
"Oh yes it definitely says in the programme.......
Cafe Music with MangeTout."
I'm not saying anything...LOL
Here's a few photos from the last day.......
Wet......
An exceeding wet mayor.......
James Stuart our mayor and owner of Zimmer Stuart art gallery in Tarrant Street,
After being put in the stocks.......
down at The Kings Arms Pub.
Yep that's it for another year........
Bye Bye gang
Nass, my husband

Paul and Alison who share our space.
and the lovely Jenny Lock the artist.

We love her and her work.

Clubhouse Interiors....Antiques
Yesterday
Nass and I took an hour out during a lull, to visit our friends at The Vinery.
Clubhouse Interiors.
The most fantastic antiques warehouse in the area.
I hadn't been to their brand new warehouse and was eager to get in there and have a look around.
They ARE open to the public, but they sell mostly to the trade.
You need to contact them for an appointment
if you were thinking of a visit..
Warehouse number 01903 883137
Martin and Mary have an amazing style.
Many years ago they were in the warehouses where Nass and I are at the moment.
Actually I think they had all three warehouses.
Phew
Then they needed even space so went to The Vinery at Poling.
Which they outgrew.
So now they have a new even larger space.
The Vinery was a mushroom farm years ago.
It is now home to several
antique dealers.
Maybe I'm biased but I think this is the most spectacular.
Have a wander around Clubhouse Interiors showroom.
See what you think........
They also hire out to
props and film companies.....
Some of their
items were in Harry Potter.
Yep....
Fantastic....We love it.
