CRANBROOK, ENGLAND – The Antiques Dealers Fair Limited is introducing three new fine art and antiques fairs in 2010. Described as “prestigious boutique events,” the fairs will take place in Gloucestershire, Hampshire and Leicestershire.

The first new venture takes place at Tortworth Court, near Wotton-under-Edge in Gloucestershire (Feb. 26-28, 2010), replacing The LAPADA Autumn Antiques and Fine Art Fair, an autumn event that formerly was held at The Centaur at Cheltenham Racecourse for five years.

The next new event is The Botleigh Grange Antiques and Fine Art Fair at Hedge End near Southampton. This fair has been introduced to serve an eager audience in the south and is slated for April 23-25, 2010. It accommodates some 30 exhibitors.

A further fair joins the 2010 schedule in the autumn. The Luxury Antiques Weekend at Stapleford Park in Stapleford near Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire (Sept. 17-19, 2010). Stapleford Park Country House Hotel is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and is situated in the most stunning quintessentially English countryside.

“My small, high quality fairs featuring an interesting mix of specialist dealers have proved very popular with the public, and they attract discerning clients who find the concept of 20 to 25 reputable exhibitors under one roof at conveniently situated four-star hotels most appealing,” explains Ingrid Nilson of The Antiques Dealers Fair Limited.

“A number of BADA and LAPADA members have been tremendous supporters of my fairs, which are vetted with a dateline of 1970 for most disciplines,” Nilson continued. “Strong marketing plays a major role in ensuring all our fairs are not just regional events, but bring in a suitably wide audience, even from abroad.”
