ADVANCE NOTICE: NEW WILTSHIRE FAIR: SUN APRIL 19 10.30-1.30

[Westwardprogs]

This is advance notice that I've stuck my neck out again and decided to organise another new fair, the Wiltshire Programme & Memorabilia Fair, which will take place on Sunday April 19 at the Legends Lounge, Swindon Town FC, County Ground, SN1 2ED, (10.30am - 1.30pm).
It is a spacious venue with ample free parking, and easily accessible from the M4.
I am confident that a decent line-up of dealers can be assembled - already dealers from London, the Home Counties, South Wales, the South Coast and South-west are signed up to attend. I intend to publish a full list in a few weeks time.
It will be a different line-up from that at the Bath Fair I recently organised - some dealers cannot make it to Swindon on that date, but several who were not able to attend the Bath fair can come to this one. So, with the others also having fresh stock, there will be plenty of interesting items available.
As no fairs have been held in Wiltshire in recent years, I am hoping local collectors will take full advantage of this opportunity.
If any dealers or collectors would like to take a stall, they should contact me on 01752-773039 or email [email protected]

I have added this one to the fairs list on the right.
Is there any admission charge?
Cheers, Jamie.
