The Wales Antiques Guide

First published in 1987 and published each year since the guide has been supported by over one hundred antique dealers in the Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire, Powys and Pembrokeshire.

Distributed free by traders, tourist information centres, antiques fairs and other outlets, it creates a unique opportunity for visitors and enthusiasts alike to hunt and find the items they want.
This year we distributed 22,000 copies across Mid, South and West Wales.
