On the third Sunday of every month, 31 Bellahouston Drive in Glasgow's Mosspark area comes alive with the Glasgow Antique, Vintage and Collectors Fair. Doors open at 10:00 and trading runs through to 16:00. The fair operates under a name that many Scottish collectors still associate with its earlier identity as Scotfairs Antique Vintage and Collectors Fairs, a brand that built genuine loyalty across the central belt over many years.
The range of stock is genuinely broad without feeling unfocused. Decorative and domestic pieces lead much of the browsing — pottery, china, glassware, silverware, copper and brass items, and household linens fill the stalls in satisfying variety. Jewellery hunters will find both antique and vintage pieces on offer, while art lovers can move through paintings, prints and original artwork at their own pace. Paper and print collectables — books, stamps, coins and postcards — occupy their own corner of the market. Furniture tends toward smaller, portable pieces rather than large statement items, which keeps the browsing experience relaxed and practical.
One feature that sets this fair apart from a standard tabletop sale is on-site appraisals. Visitors can bring items from home and get a professional opinion without booking separately. The fair also actively welcomes first-time sellers, encouraging people to bring pieces from their own estates to the table. That open approach gives the whole event a collaborative character — part trade fair, part community gathering.
Arriving early is the single most useful piece of advice for serious buyers. The best pieces move quickly, and the first hour often determines what is available for the rest of the day. A small admission fee applies on entry. Schedule dates can shift, so checking the current event calendar before travelling is always worth a moment.
The Glasgow fair is part of a wider circuit operated by the same team. Sister events run at Stirling on the first Saturday of each month and at Ayr on the last Saturday of every second month, both also running 10:00 to 16:00. Each event carries its own vendor mix, so committed collectors often treat the three fairs as a connected Scottish circuit rather than a single destination.
Getting to Bellahouston Drive by bus is straightforward. The stop at Bellahouston Drive / Ashkirk Drive sits approximately 80 metres from the venue and is served by buses 9, 9A, 10, 38, 38A, 49, 124, 153 and the N38 night service. The Mosspark Boulevard / Bellahouston Drive stop is similarly close, at roughly 70 metres. For those travelling from further afield, Corkerhill station is approximately 745 metres away and offers train services on the Paisley Canal line as well as bus 34.
