Dagfields Craft & Antiques

Visited in Feb, hadn't been for years and the place had grown considerably. Had a fab afternoon visiting a number of units and making a few purchases . Visited the cafe, lovely food and excellent puddings. The toy shop is well worth a visit on its own

What can I say? If you love charity shops and hunting for bargains, this place is a must-visit! You’ll find all sorts of things you never even knew existed—antiques, jewelry, pottery, clothes, old phones… the list goes on! It’s a bit overwhelming at first, but definitely worth a day out. There are plenty of other shops nearby to explore, and the cafes around are lovely too. A great spot for a fun and quirky day of shopping! The butchers here also deserves a mention—fantastic quality products at great prices! If you’re looking for fresh, well-priced meats, this is definitely the place to check out. It’s another great reason to visit and explore!

There is something for everyone. A positive shopping experience. Good food. Good, clean toilets. Really helpful staff.

Dagfields Craft & Antiques offers a unique and enjoyable day out for anyone interested in antiques, crafts, or simply browsing through an eclectic mix of items. The vast array of emporiums ensures that there's something for everyone, from serious collectors to casual browsers. While the on-site cafe could use some improvements in terms of service speed, selection, and pricing, it doesn't detract significantly from the overall experience. The real joy of Dagfields lies in the exploration and the thrill of finding that perfect piece among the thousands on offer. We found the experience so engaging that we visited two weekends in a row, each time spending several hours and finding pieces that caught our fancy at what we considered good prices. It's an ideal destination for a day trip, especially for those who love the hunt as much as the find. Best for: Antique enthusiasts, collectors, those looking for unique home decor, and anyone who enjoys a good treasure hunt. Tips for Visitors: Allow plenty of time - you'll need at least 3-4 hours to properly explore. Compare prices between emporiums for similar items, as they can vary significantly. Bring cash, as some vendors prefer it (though many accept cards). Check opening times, as some shops may be closed on weekdays. Be prepared for some areas to feel cluttered - it's part of the charm but can be overwhelming.

A good day out to grab a one of a kind piece. However, the prices of some items have really rocketed. I understand the economy we're in is causing prices to increase. But most of the preloved items (which haven't been repaired or upholstered) are a fraction higher than if you were to buy new else where. I did manage to grab some bargains, however. Highly recommend not wearing a bulky bag or taking children with you as some of the stalls are very narrow and easy to knock something of value over. I was fortunate not to do so, but I witnessed a child knock something over.. the owner of the stall was so cool and calm about it, though. It was no mither! One of the units, the roof was rattling (with a visable gap in the ceiling) and shaking one of the walls, seems as though it needs pinning back down as there was a damp smell too. I will admit as I went on my own, I noticed I was followed around one of the units by a member of staff up until I made my purchase at the till, was a bit baring as I wanted to look around but felt rushed and pressured for some reason In conclusion, it's a nice antique village with definitely some good valued vintage items. Just needs a little polishing in areas.
