High Point Market
Guided Shopping Experience
October 14–17, 2026
Experience High Point with two designers who know where to go, what to see, and how to make Market feel approachable.
Whether you're a design lover experiencing High Point for the first time, an interior designer who doesn't know where to begin, or an experienced designer looking for a more curated experience, we'll guide you through two full days of Market.
And because we wanted this to feel like more than a trade show, you'll stay at the beautiful and historic Graylyn Estate and return each evening to a peaceful retreat after a full day of design.
Just 6 guests. 2 designers. 1 unforgettable design experience.
October 14–17, 2026
We're starting before the official Market opening for a reason.
While Fall High Point Market officially runs October 17–21, our experience begins October 14 so we can take advantage of early-opening antiques and one-of-a-kind resources before the full Market gets underway.
We'll begin with some of the most unique pieces and design resources in High Point, then spend two full days navigating showrooms and Market experiences with Patti + Haleigh.
We know High Point. You get to experience it.
Designer-Led
Two experienced designers guiding you throughout Market.
Small Group
Only 6 participants, so the experience stays personal.
Curated
We'll take you to the showrooms, antiques, and one-of-a-kind resources we'd want to see ourselves—so you can spend less time figuring out where to go and more time experiencing it.
