The grand setting is Doubletree by Hilton Harrogate Majestic Hotel & Spa, from Friday to Sunday, August 19 to 21 – more details and full address CLICK HERE.

It is the latest event from Galloway Antiques Fairs – specialists in organising quality antiques and fine art fairs in some of the country's finest stately homes.

Richard & Susan Galloway started out almost 30 years ago and have used some fantastic venues including Scone Palace, Duncombe Park, Arley hall and Holker Hall.

But it doesn’t get any more elegant than the Majestic.

And today they gave fair warning – the phrase used by many auctioneers just before the hammer falls – to remind fans that their next show is being held there.

Built at the height of Harrogate’s prosperity in the 19th century, it is a palatial and stately Victorian property, set in eight acres of private gardens in the heart of the spa town.

It has recently undergone a £20 million refurbishment program.

Admission prices range from £5 to £6 while children under 16 get free entry.
