IACF Fairs

IACF International Antiques & Collectors Fairs organise the UK's premier antiques & collectors fairs.

With five locations around the UK and over 20 events taking place each year, you never have to wait too long before one of our fairs is taking place. Many of our fairs are world famous trading events, with reputations as the fairs where quality can be found in quantity.

From Europe's largest antiques event in Newark, Nottinghamshire to the bi-monthly fair at Shepton Mallet, Somerset, IACF's fairs are a must not only for anyone with a passion for antiques and collecting, but also for those interested in interior design.

If you're not a professional, then do not overlook our events. Our fairs are great shopping experiences, the breadth and wealth of goods on offer is amazing and there's something for everyone - no matter what your budget.

Go green and invest in vintage buys that not only allow you to do your part for the environment but add a unique aspect to your home interior.

If you're an enthusiast you may well find that special item you've been looking for or if you just love beautiful items for your home then you'll be spoilt for choice.
