Comedian's Antiques Show Takes Over Bike Shop

The second series of Johnny Vegas' Little Shop of Antiques is currently being filmed at Dagfields Crafts and Antiques Centre near Nantwich, Cheshire. To accommodate the production, Mat Capper, who runs a bike sales and repair business, has moved his operations out of his shop. The show features comedian Johnny Vegas opening a temporary vintage pop-up store called Vintage Vegas, selling unique collectibles.

Capper, who had occupied his unit for approximately nine months, relocated to a smaller nearby premises. He highlighted the benefits for all businesses on-site, noting that visitors frequently inquire about the show. Previously, series one was filmed in an adjacent unit, but relocating Capper's shop proved simpler for the current series.

Jon Egglestone, owner of Dusty Gems Interiors and an antiques dealer for over 25 years, assisted Vegas during series one. He described Vegas as a pleasure to work with and confirmed that the show has significantly increased visitor numbers to the centre. Egglestone also mentioned experiencing increased recognition when sourcing stock, even internationally, due to his appearance on the programme.
