Caroline and Ricardo Penman with guests at their golden wedding and 75th birthdays celebration.
On a sunny day in the beautiful surroundings of the Palladian Buxted Park Hotel in East Sussex, fair organiser Caroline and her husband Ricardo Penman celebrated their golden wedding and 75th birthdays.
Guests included personal friends from the antiques trade, among them both working and retired dealers and people who have worked with Penman Fairs for the past 30 years. Among them was Helen Linfield, who can claim to be Caroline’s longest-running exhibitor, having taken a stand at the Lindfield fair in 1967. Others included close friends, family and neighbours.
