With the Government declaring non-essential premises in England can reopen from Monday, Cotswolds antique shops and galleries have been preparing to reopen - with many taking the opportunity to add a new lick of paint.

With its wealth of art and antiques for sale, the Cotswolds attracts collectors and visitors from around the world.

And after 11 weeks of lockdown, Cotswold Art & Antique Dealers' Association (CADA) members are reopening their doors, following the guidelines and have been making the necessary amendments and plans to ensure that all the necessary safety precautions are in place.

CADA said that within several member's premises (depending upon the size of the business) access will be restricted to one or more people, several initially working on a 'by appointment' basis. Interested customers are advised to telephone or email to arrange a time for their visit, where possible, in order to avoid having to wait outside.

Alex Puddy, chair of the CDA, said: "We hope that as lockdown is relaxed, people will enjoy visiting the shops and galleries that are currently putting in measures to ensure customers and staff are safe when they visit. We look forward to gradually providing a warm welcome to all."

A full list has been provided below outlining CADA members that will be re-opening to the public over the coming weeks.
