What to expect at Coolings

We have been running both antiques and craft events at Coolings for a number of years. Coolings is a nationally famous nursery (note I didn't say Garden Centre, this site is primarily growers and plant experts), having won many accolades over the years. We are located in a huge glasshouse at the rear of Coolings' Rushmore Hill site - it is well sign-posted from the main entrance.

The dealers are hand-picked to offer a wide variety of interesting antiques and collectables and visitor entry is entirely FREE.

2025 dates:

Saturday/Sunday 1st-2nd March and 11th-12th October, open from 10 - 4pm. PLEASE NOTE, THERE IS NO EARLY ENTRY FOR ANY VISITOR.

Your visit

Most dealers will accept cards, but bring cash just in case they can't. Up to £50 cash-back may be obtained from Coolings main tills (not the cafe) by making a small purchase with a debit card. Alternatively, the nearby Esso garage has a cash point.

Remember, we are in a glasshouse. It is very light, but can also vary in temperature when the sun goes in and out, so wear layers to be comfortable.

We are a good distance from the entrance, so if you have trouble walking, Coolings hire out wheelchairs free of charge from the main reception.
