ANTIQUES dealers from across the Cotswolds are taking part in a fair at Blenheim Palace to raise money for the new North Cotswolds Hospital in Moreton.

This is the first ever fair held by the Cotswold Arts and Antique Dealers’ Association (CADA) which will take place at the palace in Woodstock from Friday to Sunday, April 20-22.

Twenty-three CADA members will be setting up their stands, including Stow-based dealer Christopher Clark Antiques and Jeffrey Formby Antiques from Moreton.

There will also be fine art from the Titian Gallery, in Stow, along with landscapes by contemporary painter Charles Neal at Astley House Fine Art, in Moreton, and some fine pieces from the John Noott Galleries, in Broadway.

The antiques fair will be open on Friday from 10am to 8pm and 10am to 5.30pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Proceeds will go towards the League of Friends of Moreton Hospital, which opened its doors to its first patients on Saturday.

A complimentary invitation to the event is available to download from the CADA website.
