ALL THE FUN OF THE FAIRS

2020 has been an especially difficult year for the event organisers and dealers who put on the wonderful antiques fairs and markets around the UK. We wanted to do as much as we could to support the trade, which is why we continued with our monthly listings despite so many cancellations. But this month, with so many markets and fairs succumbing to government guidelines, we’ve decided to focus on the event organisers rather than the individual fairs in order to introduce you to the people who work so hard to put on these fabulous events. Log on to their websites and follow them on social media if you want to stay up to date with their plans for a new year of antiquing. Some outdoor (and a handful of indoor) events may still go ahead this December, and we’ve given details where relevant. Do please check event websites for last-minute changes.
