Re: Peterborough - Festival of Antiques
I might or might not go this Easter. Really depends on how much is outside.As that is the only real chance of getting a bargain or something interesting in Studio Pottery.
Inside is for looking. Studio is going to be too expensive for me. But the selection of modern glass, Poole, ad Art Pottery is truly excellent. Amazing just to stand and stare.

Re: Peterborough - Festival of Antiques
the last few years I have managed to find 1 bargain each fair that will pay for my visit and can be resold immediately, so it's a free day out with a chance of finding something to complete a collection

Re: Peterborough - Festival of Antiques
done OK considering I'm selling at the moment. Only brought 4 pieces but sold 2 to cover my entry and diesel so not too bad at all.

Re: Peterborough - Festival of Antiques
I'm looking forward to it, biggest problem is finding quality pieces at the right price. Its good that people go to buy rather than just spend the day 'mooching about' - at least on the Friday.

Perhaps by the time Saturday comes all the best/attractive/bargain items have been sold?

Re: Peterborough - Festival of Antiques
Saturdays are for talking to stallholders about the amazing pieces they sold on Friday

Re: Peterborough - Festival of Antiques
I too had a good fair, especially considering the number of sellers.

Re: Peterborough - Festival of Antiques
in fact, all the dealers should post pics so forum members can say hi when they buy

Re: Peterborough - Festival of Antiques
Its the only pic I can find as I really don't like having photo taken ( as is rather obvious ) but in the spirit of open ness, friendliness etc. then why not - definitely rogues gallery.

Re: Peterborough - Festival of Antiques
Very very busy fair, I did extremely well ( for me ) including having a good day on Saturday - the 'moochers' day.
