You never know what you’ll find…
There aren’t many places where Christmas shopping can turn into an afternoon exploring antiques, vintage furniture, collectables and objects with stories stretching back decades, or even centuries.
But that’s part of what makes Dorking different.
Historic West Street has long been associated with the antiques trade, attracting collectors, dealers and visitors looking for pieces they might not find anywhere else. It’s a street that rewards a little curiosity. Behind its shopfronts you’ll find furniture, artwork, decorative objects, ceramics, collectables and all manner of interesting finds.
Explore Dorking Antiques, Lily & Leitrim, Sandrock House, Talbot House, Chantecleer, The Malthouse, The Dorking Desk Shop, Pilgrim Antiques Centre and Culvertons, each contributing to the character and variety of Dorking’s antiques scene.
And the search doesn’t end on West Street. Dorking Vintage, on the High Street, is another place to explore for vintage and second-hand finds.
Antiques and vintage pieces can also make wonderfully individual Christmas gifts.
A decorative object for someone who loves interiors, an unusual piece of furniture or something connected to a particular interest can mean far more than another mass-produced present.
Buying something pre-loved also offers a different approach to Christmas shopping, there’s a whole story behind the item you’re buying.
Whether you’re searching for something specific or just enjoy looking around, Dorking’s antiques shops are well worth exploring.
In Dorking you’re guaranteed to find a unique Christmas gift!
