Notes

As the Fair (and carpark) are busiest in the mornings, we recommend arriving around lunchtime or later to avoid the rush!

We also have a policy of only accepting exhibitors with a British address.

Description

PENMAN ANTIQUE FAIRS offer Vetted Quality Antiques and Fine Art events and days out for the discerning collector, connoisseur, antique dealer, art gallery owner, interior designer, curator and investor in artifacts, antiques & works of art.

At each Antique Fair you will find between 30 and 50 knowledgeable specialist dealers, bringing desirable, unique and stylish furnishings and collectables for your enjoyment.

Established over 40 years ago in Petersfield's Festival Hall, The quality of this fair has gradually lifted to a very high standard, whilst keeping its feet firmly on the ground. It is Unpretentious! Prices start from about £20, rising to perhaps the very occasional special £10,000 piece. Petersfield Fair offers both exhibitors and visitors a welcoming friendly atmosphere, where like-minded dealers and collectors can enjoy doing business. Almost all the exhibitors are regulars, so we can maintain high standards and a good balance of disciplines. Jewellery is particularly popular in Petersfield, so we usually have 5 jewellers. Competition for these slots is strong! Petersfield Fair was established in 1973 by Eric Gamlin, and Penmans took over in 1999. The fair is now perhaps the most consistently successful Antiques Fair in the South, attracting buyers and sellers from across the UK.
