Since relocating from Swinderby Airfield in April 2015, Runway Monday at Newark has continued to flourish, gaining popularity for its concise and impactful format. Located adjacent to the Newark Air Museum and the Newark & Nottinghamshire Showgrounds, this antiques and collectables fair showcases a diverse range of treasures six times a year.
Organized by the International Antiques & Collectors Fairs (IACF), Runway Monday transforms into a bustling marketplace that attracts more than 600 dealers from across the United Kingdom, Ireland and nearby northern European countries. Some dealers travel from as far away as Germany, France and the Netherlands, arriving with trucks and trailers full of unique home furnishings.
The variety of offerings at Runway Monday is truly remarkable. Antiques from the fifteenth century to the mid-1950s modern grace the booths, with a selective allowance for reproductions in pine furniture and ornamental cast metal garden furniture. Large semi-permanent tents are usually the first to fill, housing dealers offering smaller antiques such as vintage fashions, jewelry, nautical and engineering equipment, textiles and home decor. The quality of the items at this fair is consistently high, and knowledgeable dealers offer insight into the treasures they sell.
The appeal of Runway Monday lies not only in the quality and variety of items, but also in the range of choices, from the traditional to the edgy, to suit every collector's taste. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a curious newcomer, the fair offers a unique opportunity to explore, discover and learn.
The vibrancy and variety of Runway Monday at the Newark Antiques and Collectors Fair make it a must-visit destination for antiques enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. The blend of history, artistry and craftsmanship represented in each piece creates an enriching atmosphere and a memorable experience for all who walk the aisles.
Whether you are looking for a rare fifteenth-century artifact, mid-century modern decor, or unique vintage fashion, Runway Monday promises to be a treasure trove of discoveries. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of history, indulge your senses in the beauty of craftsmanship, and perhaps take home a piece of the past to cherish forever.
