AUTUMN FAIR
1 to 6 October 2024
DURING DESIGN SEASON, DISCOVER THE MOST INSPIRING COLLECTION OF ANTIQUES, DESIGN AND ART IN THE UK.
The Autumn edition of The Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fair will be held from 1-6 October 2024 at Evolution London (The Marquee) in Battersea Park. The antiques, textiles, design and arts fair has been a cornerstone event in the art and design calendar since 1985 and continues to captivate buyers.
Celebrated worldwide, this fair is a must-visit destination for design connoisseurs, collectors and interior enthusiasts alike. Among the three yearly editions of our Fair in Battersea Park, the October event stands out as a seasonal masterpiece; a vibrant hub of inspiration for creative decorating of your house and garden during the autumn art fairs and design season.
Arriving at Battersea up on the Mezzanine for the first time is Tribal Art London Fair, the long-established and only premier UK event for collectors and admirers of original tribal and ethnographic art and artefacts. The international art dealers showing at TAL will add a unique dimension to the visitor experience this October.
During our extraordinary Autumn design week, you can immerse yourself in a curated selection of heritage craftsmanship for sale from over 130 specialist dealers, offering a exciting array of traditional and decorative antiques, modernist 20th-century design pieces, and accessories for the interior decorator that span from the 1700s to the 1970s. For art enthusiasts, our Autumn Fair includes classical to contemporary paintings, prints, pictures and sculpture.
Be excited by exceptional statement pieces and discover unique artisan designs from the past that will bring personality to your home. Our exhibitors’ displays are a treasure trove of lovingly hand-crafted objects and art waiting to be explored.
For your convenience, we have a packing, delivery and export supplier providing services on-site, ensuring your shopping finds its way home effortlessly if required. Relax at our all-day eatery on the Mezzanine level, catered by London restaurant Bone Idyll, where you can rest and indulge between browsing the special artworks, vintage designs and antiques at the Autumn Fair. Additionally, to enhance your visit’s accessibility, we provide a complimentary coach service between the Sloane Square Hotel and the venue, making it easier than ever to join us for this celebration of sustainable interiors.
We are proud to be a dog-friendly event, and welcome your furry friends providing your dogs are well-behaved and kept on a lead at all times whilst inside the venue. Join us at our arts fair this Autumn for an unforgettable experience in the world of art, design and antiques.
