About Us

We’re a community of dealers housed in a converted barn at Golborne Bridge Farm on the A41 at Milton Green, Chester (CH3 9DR).

Our space spans two floors and an outdoor area, bringing together more than fifteen independent traders to offer a constantly changing mix of antiques, crafts and reclaimed treasures. You’ll find everything from vintage Ercol, G‑Plan and IKEA pieces to quirky collectables and handmade crafts.

We’re open every day from around 10 am and share our site with a cosy café and farm shop, so you can enjoy lunch, coffee or pick up local produce while you browse.

With free parking, wheelchair access and dog-friendly policies, we aim to make every visit relaxed and welcoming.

Amenities & Visitor Experience

The rural location, historic barn and mix of dealers make Applegates a destination rather than just a shop. Visitors can spend several hours browsing, enjoy refreshments at the café and even explore the surrounding countryside. The following amenities ensure a comfortable visit:

  • Easy parking: Free on‑site parking allows visitors to spend time browsing without worry.

  • Accessibility: The site offers wheelchair access and highchairs. Dogs are welcome on leads, so four‑legged friends can accompany their owners.

  • Payment options: Dealers and the café accept major credit cards, though some antique sellers may prefer cash for smaller items – bring both to be safe.

  • Additional services: Wi‑Fi and restrooms are available. The on‑site farm shop offers fresh produce and local products for those wanting to take home culinary treats.
