About The Ticking Tent

The Ticking Tent, the original ‘brocantes-style” artisan, antiques and design shopping event founded by interiors stylist and creative consultant Benjamin Reynaert and communications and business development consultant Christina Juarez, will take place Saturday May 3, 2025 in the “country” at spring hill vineyards in New Preston, CT. Located on a historic farm dating back to the 18th century along the bucolic banks of the Shepaug River, this beautiful venue has been painstakingly renovated by Stephanie and Tim Ingrassia. The property includes 6,500 square feet of open entertainment space, a multi-use barn and adjacent structural tent, and amphitheater created by sculptor Mark Mennin and a silo repurposed as an artistic grotto. This region includes an established interior design community made up of professionals and passionate, design- savvy consumers alike.
