Busy 2013 planned for AFC Fairs


Any visitor to Cornwall will leave picturesque memories of the Duchy. Be it for the natural beauty,the old tin mines or the abandoned boats on the shore of many rivers, any of these reasons are draped with some kind of history.


Past times can also be remembered through legacies left in objects and curios and there is no better place to discover these that at one of the many antique and collectable fairs organised by AFC fairs.


With four main venues, there is no excuse not to visit the traders that come from all over the country to sell all kinds of items varying from ephemera, coins, crockery, gold, silver, textiles clocks and furniture and many others far too many enumerate.


The permanent base of AFC fairs is at Antiques Alley which can be found at Cornish Market World in Par near St Austell and picturesque Charlestown.


Antique Alley opened some four years ago and has been so successful that it has had to be re-housed. Open every Saturday and Sunday throughout the year. During the summer months,Wednesdays are also included in the calendar.


Being located in the largest indoor market in the South West, it can only be a must visit, offering many local historical antiques such as, for instance, many beautiful samples of Newlyn Copper Troika pottery furniture and Straddle Stones.


The added bonus of the general market and ‘Kidzworld’ makes it a prime destination for


many locals, coaches and holiday makers alike. On every last Sunday of the month, traders can also be found in Pensilva, a small village near Liskeard and nestled on the edge of the beautiful Bodmin Moor.


With around 60 stalls, it’s closeness to Devon, sees a slightly different variety of traders and exclusive jewellery stands are often found here.


The golf resort at St Mellion is also the location of a further fair three times a year where high end antiques are often on offer. Yearly dates vary and it is best to check the website:www.afcfairs.co.uk for further information.


The Royal Cornwall showground at Wadebridge is the location for the bi-annual bank holiday antique and collectable fair.


Taking place on the Friday and Saturday of Easter and August bank holidays respectively, this massive fair includes stalls inside and outdoors.


Additionally this year a vintage, arts, craft, shabby chic and retro fair will be held in the new building adjoining the old one.


This now famous fair has been running for some years and is not only the biggest event of it’s kind in the South West and it also has been the location for the filming of one of Bargain Hunt’s episodes.


With anything up to 5,000 visitors all sorts can be found here, including food, entertainment and of course a wide variety of bargains attracting traders from all over the country.
