What are the current biggest and best English fairs?

Post by taras »

Hello everyone. I'm based up in Scotland, and between the fairs and antiques centres here, I'm seeing limited returns for my particular interest (Edwardian actresses who aren't Marie Studholme!)

I'm thinking a trip down south might be in order, but I need to make sure it'll be worthwhile. Can anyone tell me which are the bigger English fairs that might be worth my making a special trip in 2025/6?

I have looked at the listings on the PTA site but sense some of the information may be a little out-of-date.

Many thanks.

The Fair listings found on here are reliable and up to date : https://postcard.co.uk/fairs.php and all are worth a visit.

It is always a good idea to contact the organisers for any late-breaking information or further details about who is attending etc , especially if travelling any distance ...

Enjoy! :D

Thank you! I hadn't clocked that most of the listings tell you how many tables there are. Going to have another look with my eyes open this time :)
