Throughout the year Marcel Fairs hosts two outstanding antiques and vintage shows - one in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire and the other in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire. These well-established events have long attracted enthusiastic crowds. While Potters Bar remains a monthly event, the Biggleswade fair now takes place five times a year. Despite this change, loyal visitors continue to return, eager to explore the ever-changing selection of treasures.
Though busy with customers, these antique and vintage shows are not the typical sprawling events with hundreds of vendors that some of the larger shows are. With around 45 vendors selling at the Biggleswade Antique & Vintage Fair and 75 dealers exhibiting at the Potters Bar Antique & Vintage Fair, these markets are very easy to navigate and shoppers can be sure to visit each and every stall! The dealers are all incredibly approachable and happy to share the stories and history behind the items on display.
There are some incredible items to be found at these antique and vintage fairs. Shoppers will find silverware, brooches, vases, furniture, decorative objects too numerous to mention, teapots, jewelry boxes and amazing jewelry collections, cameras, cigarette cases, textiles, artwork and curiosities too numerous (and strange!) to list. Even visitors with the best intentions to browse are sure to end up spending more than they planned. Running out of cash is not a problem either - there are card payment machines available so there is no need to miss out on anything that catches your eye.
The facilities at the Antique and Vintage Fairs are almost as highly praised as the goods on offer, especially the cafes at each venue. There are freshly made bacon and sausage rolls for breakfast for the early birds, and great lunches. It is all too easy to make a day of visiting these fairs.
