The Petworth Park Antiques & Fine Art Fair continues to be kindly supported by the National Trust, which has also opened its doors to the antiques fair’s ticket holders, free-of-charge over the three days of the fair, each year. In return, the organiser of the fair – The Antiques Dealers Fair Limited – has offered complimentary access to National Trust members.
A variety of disciplines will be on show with over 60 specialist dealers taking part, mainly gathering from around the UK, amongst which are paintings, drawings and illustrations; jewellery; silver; glass; ceramics; sculpture; town, country and mid-century furniture and interior accessories; lighting; clocks and vintage watches; historic medals; oriental rugs and carpets, objets d’art and much much more.
The majority of the exhibitors are members of the UK's two professional associations: The British Antique Dealers’ Association and LAPADA The Association of Art & Antiques Dealers. The fair raises funds for the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust, a charity that transforms the careers of talented and aspiring makers by funding training and education. The fair is not only supported by the National Trust but also Kirker Holidays, Petworth Antiques And Decorative Arts association, Petworth Marquees and Petworth Business Association.
