The Henley Décor is returning this autumn.
Taking place just outside Buckinghamshire, it commences on Thursday, September 23, and will conclude on Sunday, September 26 on the Marlow Road in Henley.
The four-day festival will see 180 of the finest UK and international decorative traders in town, as the programme has built a reputation for being the ‘interiors event of the year’ and a destination for top dealers, interior designers, and movie prop companies alike.
Formed last year, the Henley Décor Fair was a passion project by Gary Wallis, an architectural antiques dealer and expert restorer who stars in UKTV’s ‘Restoration Workshop’.
Gary Wallis, of UKTV’s ‘Restoration Workshop', created the event
His vision was to use his contacts within the antique trade to create a quality interiors event, with a ‘festival feel’, that would attract the very best exhibitors from around the country to Henley-on-Thames.

He said: “This is no ordinary antique or salvage fair; this lifestyle event has everything to inspire the antique lover or the interior designer in us all.’
A lot will be on offer
The event will allow locals and those who live further afield to meet the country’s top dealers and mingle with personalities and experts from TV programmes such as ‘Salvage Hunters: The Restorers’ and ‘The Bidding Room’.
There will also be porters and delivery companies on-site to help with your purchases, with free parking also being available.
They'll be a lot on show over the four day event
And if you fancied taking a break from the hustle and bustle of the fair itself, you can relax by watching live music in the beautiful riverside surroundings.
Cocktail bars and craft beers from the local Rebellion brewery will also be on-site, along with vintage tearooms and gastro food stalls.
The Henley Décor Fair also welcomes families and well-behaved dogs.
