About us

Hoof Brocante is run by Adrian Higham and Tara Franklin and is based on Romney Marsh on an old RAF base in Kent, UK.

Tara specialises in antique French textiles, linens, and vintage French clothing. You will often see Tara climbing through private barns’ brocantes and sitting drinking a cool glass of wine in a beautiful chateau in the south of France by private invitation.

Adi, however, has a passion of the unusual and has collected many weird items after living in France for over 20 years. Adi’s passion ranges from classic cars to galvanised pots and early French oil jars from deep in the south. He also likes hand painted signs and loves the odd pedal car.

Adi is also a TV celebrity and can be seen daily on the very successful BBC1 program The Bidding Room. Loud shirts, bonkers socks and amazing shoes, plus of course his very big character – you won’t miss him!
