May 2026

In the diary

May is a good month to be out early. The days are longer, the gardens are fresh and green, and the markets and antique fairs feel firmly back in rhythm. There’s that particular May feeling too - summer not quite here, but close enough to make a weekend plan feel worth it. Chelsea Flower Show highlights our month this year as we host C.Atherley in our store.

Whether you’re searching for a specific piece or just happy to see what turns up, we’ve pulled together the antique fairs, vintage markets and design events worth making time for this month.

Get the diary out. There’s plenty on.
