Petersfield Antiques Fair

Petersfield Antiques Fair was established in 1973 by Eric Gamlin who also ran the antiques fairs in Farnham, Lymington and Solihull. After his death, his widow, Heather, continued to run Petersfield. In 1999 Caroline Penman bought the Fair from Heather, and in 2003 ran the last June event. It continued in February and September annually.

The Festival Hall has always been the venue, popular with dealers and collectors alike, it is eagerly anticipated. The early February date was always a challenge with the weather. So, from 2022 it will be in mid-March and early September.

Always standfitted and vetted for quality, the fair has hosted around 35-45 well-respected antique & fine art dealers. However, soon the Hall will undergo major changes, to allow for more stands and a generally smarter setting. This will entail at least 6 months’ building works, disrupting the schedule. It remains to be seen when these works will happen!
