October brings three Arthur Swallow Fairs events, with antiques, salvage, vintage and plenty of opportunity for a rummage.
As the days get shorter and the season turns, it’s a good time to start thinking about cosy interiors, autumn garden projects and those pieces you’ve been meaning to find all year long.
This month, we bring three very different events, from our established Antiques & Home Show at Lincoln, to the Antiques & Salvage Market at Cheshire Showground and our much-loved Vintage Flea Market.
Antiques & Home Show – Lincoln Showground

Start the month with a day of antiques, vintage and salvage at our long-established Antiques & Home Show.
