Bungay is renowned for the wonderful array of shops, selling antiques, artefacts, curios and arts. The majority of these shops can be found in Earsham Street and Broad Street with lovely ideas for that extra special gift.

In addition there are also art galleries and a workshop where a local woodcarver can be seen at work.

Every year Bungay holds an Antique Street Fair which involves dealers from all over the country selling from stalls in Earsham Street, which is closed to traffic. To book a stall contact John Pestell, telephone number is 01986 782464 or email willowdykes.barn@virgin.net 

Several thousand people flock to the town for this popular event, which we will cover in more detail nearer the time.

Matthew Higham Antiques have over twenty years experience of collecting and importing rare and interesting European pine and hardwood furniture. Each month around 250 pieces including armoires, food-cupboards, dressers, bookcases, benches, tables, boxes, and chest of drawers arrive at their UK warehouse. Here, a team of specialised cabinet-makers and painters work to customise or paint items to your requirements.

Recently Matthew Higham Antiques has opened a new showroom of antique Chinese furniture. The provinces of Northern China have proved a rich source of fascinating forms - the ancestors of European furniture - as well as beautiful woodgrains and patinas.

Because we appreciate that each piece is unique and will enjoy a special place in any home our experts will tailor finish, modify furniture and develop paint colours to suit a wide range of interiors, from modern urban spaces to the classic home.
