Kirker Holidays

The British Antique Dealers’ Association (BADA) is delighted to announce a new partnership with leading cultural tour operator, Kirker Holidays.

The exciting collaboration will see Kirker support established BADA events such as the BADA Art Prize, which enters its fourth year in 2024. Kirker will also lend their support to a series of exclusive BADA Friends events including Tea and Tiaras, a celebration of couture jewellery presented by Andrew Prince, whose glamourous creations were used in the popular hit drama Downton Abbey.

Speaking of the partnership, BADA Chairman Louise Phillips said, “as Britain’s leading provider of luxury short breaks and cultural tours for nearly 40 years, Kirker Holidays reflect the high standards and expertise that membership of the BADA embodies.”

“Both organisations were founded on the principal of providing clients with the very best, using their relevant experience to fulfil expectations and interests of new and existing customers - many of whom remain loyal to Kirker Holidays and BADA members.”

Ted Wake (Managing Director, Kirker Holidays) added, "There is a perfect synergy and fit between Kirker and the BADA. The similarity of our curious and discerning customer base means this partnership should benefit not only our two organisations but our clients as well."

Since launching their first brochure in 1986, Kirker has always aimed to provide discerning travellers with a carefully selected range of hotels that provide excellent service and comfort, combined with private transfers, expert private guides and well-researched itineraries that enable you to make the most of your budget and the time you have available.
