SPRING FAIR
6 to 11 May 2025
GARDEN DECORATION COMES IN TO FOCUS AT OUR SPRING EVENT
The Decorative Fair has rightfully earned its strong reputation as the UK’s must-visit event for interior designers, with over 130 specialist dealers showcasing every discipline of antiques, fine and decorative art and 20th century design, dating from the 1700s to the 1970s, at a wide range of price points. The Spring Fair is the time our thoughts turn to outside, and garden statuary, objects, furniture, urns and outdoor decoration have a stronger focus, although they are always part of the mix in the Fair.
Packing, delivery and export services are available on site. Our vibrant restaurant on the Mezzanine catered by London restaurateurs Bone Idyll provides all-day refreshment, and we offer a courtesy coach service between Sloane Square and the Fair. We’re a dog-friendly event, although we do require dogs to be well-behaved and kept on a lead at all times when inside the venue.
NEW THIS SPRING! The House Directory LIVE upstairs on the mezzanine, featuring decorating suppliers, makers and craftspeople PLUS there’ll be talks by leading specialists, daily demos and workshops to enjoy. For over 20 years The House Directory has been the keeper of the best little black book of contacts in the decorating business; now you can be in on it too.
