Petworth Park antiques and fine art fair returns in May

The much-anticipated event will take place over three days from May 8 to May 10, 2026, in a purpose-built marquee located in the 700-acre deer park.

The fair has attracted interior designers, collectors, art and antique enthusiasts since it began in 2015.

It draws both UK residents and international visitors.

Among the main attractions are over 60 specialist dealers presenting a variety of disciplines.

Spectators can enjoy an extensive array from paintings, jewellery, silver, glass, ceramics, sculpture, vintage watches, to oriental rugs and carpets.

The majority of the exhibitors are members of the UK’s two professional associations, The British Antique Dealers’ Association and LAPADA The Association of Art and Antiques Dealers.

Not only a marketplace but the fair is also a charitable event, raising funds for the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust.

The charity assists aspiring makers by facilitating training and education.

Tickets cost £10, including access to Petworth House and Park, and can be purchased via Eventbrite at PetworthParkFair2026.eventbrite.co.uk.

Opening times for the fair are 11am to 7pm on Friday, May 8, and 10.30am to 6pm on Saturday, May 9.

Sunday, May 10, will have a slightly earlier closing at 5pm.

The National Trust has supported the event by opening Petworth House for free to the antique fair’s ticket holders.
