The Petworth Park Antiques & Fine Art Fair

Following yet another successful fair in Petworth Park, our next event there is scheduled to be held from Friday 16 to Sunday 18 May 2025 - the tenth anniversary of this popular show.

The famous National Trust property in the picturesque market town of Petworth has proved an ideal venue, attracting thousands of eager visitors. In its spacious marquee, the Petworth Park Antiques & Fine Art Fair has over 60 exhibitors, predominantly members of The British Antique Dealers' Association and LAPADA The Association of Art & Antiques Dealers. They offer for sale a wide range of desirable items such as fine period furniture, clocks, oil and watercolour paintings, maps, glass, sculpture, lighting, vintage watches, boxes, silver and jewellery together with ceramics, 20th century design objects, drawings and prints, textiles and carpets, applied arts and many other decorative and unique works of art from the ancient to the contemporary.

We are very happy to again work with The National Trust at Petworth House as well as with the local dealer association PAADA and the Petworth Business Association, creating yet another exciting event. The grand 17th century house boasts an internationally important art collection, and together with its 'Capability' Brown landscaped country park, it provides a magnificent backdrop for our annual fair.

The fair has its own free car park by the marquee - access is from the A272 Tillington Road through the gate at New Lodges. The AA signs will direct traffic to this entrance and not to the main car park on the A283, where there is a charge of £4 for non-National Trust members. Disabled parking close to the fair entrance. The pedestrian entrance is via the Cricket Lodge gate, also on the A272, or via the Cowyard.

A courtesy shuttle bus service will operate between the fair car park, the entrance to Petworth House and the town centre, running hourly between 11 am and 6 pm (5pm on Sunday).

Fair visitors enjoy free access to Petworth House during the three day event. National Trust members and Petworth House ticket holders may attend the antiques fair free of charge.

Light refreshments are available in the restaurant inside the fair, operated by The Naked Food Company.

Dogs that can be carried and guide/assistance dogs are welcome.
