An antiques show held two years ago is set to return to Suffolk - and organisers hope to draw customers from across the region.

Aspal Antiques at Stonham Barns Park, near Debenham, says increasing demand for "vintage touches" for home and garden makeovers is driving growth in the sector.

The business is run by two enterprising couples -  Alan Knight and Henrietta Lewis, and Wendy and Alf Faulkner.

They are putting on their second antiques fair on Saturday, March 16, to showcase antiques, collectables, retro, vintage, vinyl and other historical items.

It will build on the success of its debut show two years ago and will feature a "huge" range of established and start up traders from the antiques sector in the region, they said.

The fair is expected to draw buyers across Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex.

Aspal Antiques also operates Aspal Emporium Antiques Centre and Aspal Reclamations at the retail site.

The couples consolidated the business during the pandemic after a boom in antiques collecting and property makeovers.

The business has played host to Drew Pritchard from TV Series Salvage Hunters who described Aspal Antiques as "a real breath of fresh air with products of undeniable quality which are highly affordable". Antiques Road Trip presenter Mark Hill has also paid a visit.

"The show will bring an abundance of choice to buyers from the area," said Alan.

"We know that it will work well at Stonham Barns Park’s 140-acre leisure venue which is now well established as an antiques hub for the region.

"We have seen a resurgence of interest in everything from Bo-Ho to Victoriana and people do want quality for sustainability purposes.

"Something with history will keep its looks and outlast many of its modern counterpart home décor items.

"Antiques were built to last and so vintage means long lasting, and of course it comes with the flare and style that the master crafters included in their work."

Henrietta said people were still drawn to "statement" pieces.

"People just love having objects of beauty surrounding them that make them happy," she said.

"People are enjoying spending time searching out antique and vintage items as the current trend for repurposing grows ever more popular."

The show will give buyers "the best possible range of antiques and collectables available in Mid Suffolk", she said.
