After welcoming friends old and new through the doors at Navenby Antiques Centre for 21 years, you may have noticed that Dean and I have ‘come of age’! Recognising this milestone, we have decided the time is now right to retire - the end of an era!
The centre has evolved over the years, from moving across the road, to charity balls, cheese and wine evenings, opening the Lounge Café and the post-Covid Wintergarden, and filming many times with Antiques Road Trip. Team Navant have enjoyed games evenings, pub quizzes and Dean’s wonderful Christmas meals - so many memories! We’ve put together a few photos of our favourite moments over the years, and if you have any memories to share, we’d love to hear from you!
We now look to life after Navenby Antiques Centre, spending more time with family, friends and each other; travelling in our camper van and welcoming our second grandchild in January - exciting times!
We worked hard to find a buyer for the Centre, but unfortunately no such buyer was forthcoming, and sadly we will be closing our doors on Sunday 27th September.
We’d like to thank all our customers over the years for their support and friendship; we’ve loved our time here, and we will miss you! But have no fear, we will still be seeing you around the village, boring you with travel and baby photos!
With very best wishes
Laura and Dean
