We invite you to SPEND THE weekend WITH US

Born of a desire to create a fundraiser that would replace an existing antiques show, Rooms With a View (RWAV) a new and innovative charitable event. The mini decorator's show house with vignettes (or small concept rooms of design) was designed to connect people with designers and find sources for furnishings, fixtures, paint and art.

RWAV continues to transform and evolve

Over the past few years the show began to evolve and grow with the addition of the art gallery, lecture series, and book signing events, establishing RWAV as A True design destination.

Each year we strive to develop and create new experiences designed to inspire, entertain & inform. This year we’ll focus on two themes: “The Enduring Influence of British Design,” and “the Garden.”

We are honored to have some of the most respected voices in Design, architecture and gardening from the UK joining celebrated American talents right here in Southport.

We continue to offer plenty of shopping opportunities at our Tartan Shop as well as our Bookstore. The Hadley Garden cafe will be open throughout the weekend for drinks, refreshments and a place to rest your feet.

making it a destination for a weekend filled with design.

For those wanting to come and go, your general admissions ticket is valid the duration of the show.
