Widely regarded as the most important antiques event in Scotland, and certainly the largest, the Edinburgh Antiques, Vintage & Collectors Fair is held four times a year and grows in popularity each time. The Royal Highland Center, a huge warehouse-like space, is transformed every quarter into a feast of collectibles, vintage goods and high quality antiques that can be enjoyed whatever the weather - which is great as Scotland is not known for its warm and sunny days.
One of the great things about the Edinburgh Antiques, Vintage & Collectors Fair is the huge variety of items to be found. Many collectibles can also be acquired at great prices if your negotiating skills are well honed and put to the test. However, it is possible to pay a little extra for early access to this market, which all serious collectors do. So if you wait for the "normal" opening times, you may find that most of the best deals have already been made and the most coveted items are already with new owners.
Whether visitors are looking for specific items to add to their collections, looking for inspiration to spruce up their homes and wardrobes, or just want to enjoy browsing curiosities, the Edinburgh Antiques, Vintage & Collectors Fair has it all. There is amazing glassware, vintage jewelry, handbags, clothing, toys, furniture, china and much more.
