Rich pickings for antique hunters enjoying the fun of the fairs
A selection of coins at the antique fair in Birr.
Even though it is not on Route 66, antique lovers can get their kicks in Birr this bank holiday weekend. The antique and art fair, which runs in conjunction with Birr Vintage Week, will take place at the County Arms Hotel on Monday and Tuesday (August 4 and 5).
With more than 30 dealers in antique furniture, art and collectables from around the country in attendance, this popular fair is a fixture at this time of year, as Birr celebrates all things retro with arts, theatre, music, street theatre, pop-up performances, workshops and exhibitions until August 9.
