We are delighted to invite you to celebrate the Country Brocante’s 15th Year in Sussex with a big and beautiful Summer Fair in The Meadow at Rowner Farm.

We will be joined by our Great British brands and friends of The Country Brocante, old and new.

The Country Brocante tea tent will be serving a delicious array of summer treats and there will be chilled Prosecco and Strawberries and Cream to enjoy in the sunshine. As always we hope to tempt you to attend one of our unique workshops, demonstrations or talks from leading authors, designers and creatives.
