Obviously, antiquing in itself is a thrill—I don’t need to tell you that. The buzz of a good antique shop, a great market, or even a terrible one can make my day and sometimes even my week. That being said, it’s always good to make a weekend of it—this way, everyone wins.
Below are some of the great arcades and centres to visit around the UK. I think we’ve gathered around 18 that could help fill your homes, drawers, and any surfaces that haven’t already been layered with shells, rocks, a picture you found, or some piece of pottery that caught your eye!
