 The rural sibling of well-known and much-loved antique and collectables mecca, Empire Revival, which has been a highlight of the colourful Paddington fabric for many, many years, The Emporium Kalbar is also a treasure trive of days gone by.

Amidst the quirky, you’ll also find delightful homewares & soft furnishings, art by local painters, handmade cards and lovely, country-style furniture - some in original condition and some lovingly restored by talented craftsmen.
