Vintage and Antique Fairs 2023
With local vintage, antiques and art fairs back open, we thought it would be a great time to provide an overview of some of the best fairs and markets taking place in the UK and across the EU in 2023. This article covers all the basics of what to expect, how to prepare and details all of the key events taking place in the coming weeks and months. It’s time to plan a trip…
A vintage or antique fair is a place to discover local dealers, vintage hobbyists, antique hunters and plenty of pieces filled with nostalgia. Not surprisingly, we’re big fans of local vintage and antique markets, and whilst Hunt Vintage® exists to make finding professional pieces of the highest quality easy to find (from the comfort of your own home), we still recommend the occasional visit to a local fair.

OK so you’ve decided you want to attend a local fair. But, what do you need to bring and how early should you get along?
If you’re going along to haggle, to find rare items and to bag a bargain, then we’ve got an important tip, which may seem rather obvious. Get up early on the day. Pack your clothes and bags (you might be haggling all day) and make sure you’re one of the first to arrive, as the vintage gems tend to move quickly.
In addition to shopping for quality vintage and antique pieces, from local dealers from across the World, online here at Hunt Vintage, we also want to make it easy to find a local market or fair near you. So, here goes. We’ve curated a definitive list of fairs from across the UK and Europe.
We’re always adding to our list of fairs, and are receiving recommendations from our network of dealers weekly, so please check back frequently for an updated list. In the meantime, you can view our favourite EU fairs and markets to visit in 2023 below.
