Throughout the year Madison Events organizes two excellent monthly antique and vintage fairs - one at Biddleswade in Bedfordshire and the other at Potters Bar in Hertfordshire. These fairs have been running at each location for many years now and they are always events that really draw in the crowds. With only a short break in the summer months of July and August, these markets are otherwise monthly affairs, and many visitors make sure they come back for each and every one!
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.
