A treasure trove awaits at Castlederg's Antiques and Collectibles Fair and Vintage Tea

THERE'S something truly magical about uncovering a hidden gem - a piece of history, a forgotten treasure, or a charming collectible that sparks joy the moment you see it.

That’s exactly the kind of enchantment waiting for you at this year’s Antiques and Collectibles Fair and Vintage Tea, hosted by the dedicated fundraising committee of 1st Castlederg Presbyterian Church.

On Saturday, September 13, the doors of Donaldson Hall, Garvetagh, Castlederg, will open to reveal a delightful showcase featuring 18 exhibitors from across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

From timeless antiques to quirky collectibles, elegant heirlooms to one-of-a-kind curiosities, this annual fair has become a much-loved highlight in the local calendar - and for good reason.

But it’s not just the treasures on the tables that make this event so special.

The organisers, who work tirelessly year after year, have created an atmosphere brimming with warmth, welcome, and community spirit.

Their efforts ensure that every visitor feels at home, whether you’re a seasoned collector, a casual browser or simply someone looking to enjoy a memorable afternoon.

And let’s not forget the Vintage Tea - a treat in itself!

With a steaming cup of tea and a spread of delicious homemade bakes, it’s the perfect way to pause, chat, and soak up the friendly atmosphere.

This fair is more than an event - it’s a chance to support a wonderful cause, to celebrate tradition, and to connect with neighbours and friends.

So mark your calendars, bring your curiosity, and prepare to discover something truly special.

Come along, explore and be part of the magic - because who knows what treasures you might find this year?
