ANCIENT oddities and vintage gems will be available to buy this month as Pontypool hosts its first antiques fair.

Organised by local antiques and vintage dealer Roofrack Ragamuffins, the event will take place in the town and indoor market from 11am until 3pm on Saturday, December 17.

The Pontypool-based business has supplied antiques and collectables to TV shows such as Eastenders, theme parks and global fashion brands and opened earlier this year.

The event will also have a festive theme with the Salvation Army Band, a local choir, crafts and games for children.

Owner Allun Davies is appealing for antiques dealers, collectors and sellers of vintage goods to showcase their wares on the day. Contact Allun at Roofrack Ragamuffins via roofrackragamuffins@gmail.com
