The Harrogate Antique and Fine Art Fair was re-born when taken over more than twenty five years ago by the present organisers. From being a small but select Fair, it has blossomed into a major event.

Its development has always been closely monitored with attention to detail and balance being the key words. Exhibitors applying are selected on a basis of quality, integrity and knowledge, and as many areas of antiques as possible are represented to give the Fair a vital and diverse profile. The Fair now includes 20th century and Art Nouveau specialist dealers, adding another dimension to this interesting Fair. Many of the exhibitors are members of either the British Antique Dealers' Association or the London and Provincial Antique Dealers Association and are well-known and esteemed in their areas of expertise.

The aim of the Fair is to provide a suitable forum for antiques and fine art from all over the country to be presented before the cognoscenti of the North, who are renowned for their appreciation of the finer things in life! Harrogate is a centre of excellence for antiques in the North of England and, enhanced by its unique and elegant beauty, it is a natural setting for one of the most prestigious events of Antiques and Fine Art to be found outside London .

Although it maintains the highest standards, the Fair, under the direction of its organiser, Louise Walker, prides itself on being a friendly and informative experience to both exhibitors and visitors alike. Its original byword of being a "Buyer's Fair", where like-minded people can discuss and purchase Fine Art and Antiques, still holds true.
