Newark International Antiques & Collectors Fair - Back to the old days?
‘My best Newark ever!’ (Mrs Campbell, Marquee Exhibitor)
‘I sold out’ (Monsieur Macarez, Shopping Arcade Exhibitor)
‘My purchases will have boosted the UK economy!’ (Kate Barry, Buyer from Maine, USA).

These are just a few of the positive comments we received from customers at the fair on 8th and 9th October. The numbers of both dealers and buyers far exceeded our expectations and many people told us that there was a ‘buzz’ about the fair that they had not experienced for a long time. An increase in the number of American and European buyers did much to increase sales and we saw many dealers return to the fair who have not exhibited for several years.

Don’t forget the next Ardingly International Antiques & Collectors Fair on 27th and 28th October. Contact our office on 01636 702326 to book your stand now.
