Antiques & Collectibles Fair, 14th June 9am to 3pm, Pierremont Hall

Come join us on the 14th June here at Pierremont Hall for our Antiques & Collectibles Fair in Broadstairs from 9am to 3pm.

The event is open to the public. If you'd like a space at the fair the price is £20.00 per pitch. Purchases can be made on the ticket option below. Or email us at events@broadstairs.gov.uk.

We are also hosting a Vintage Swap inside on the same day and time for £10.00 per table.

Do you have a load of items on websites/apps that just aren't selling or are you looking to buy or swap some much loved items that you'd rather see in-person that on a screen?

Join us on 14th June 2026

Then join us on the 14th June 2026 from 9am to 3pm at Pierremont Hall for our Antiques & Collectibles Fair. Along side the fair, we would like to invite you to come buy, sell, and swap your second-hand clothes, shoes, and accessories inside Pierremont Hall.

For indoor sellers, pitches are £10.00 per booking. You'll be inside our Chamber Hall and given a table and space if you'd like to bring a clothing rail.

Don't think you have enough to sell or swap? Share this post with your friends and family and TEAM UP!

Why is this a good idea?

Why is this a good idea? - Buying second-hand helps reduce an individual's carbon footprint. It promotes sustainability by reducing demand for new, resource-intensive production, cutting down on textile waste in landfills, and extending the life of garments. It offers significant cost savings, provides access to unique, high-quality, or vintage items.

Spaces are limited so make sure you book with us by dropping us a DM on Facebook or Instagram or emailing us at events@broadstairs.gov.uk.

All stalls inside will be for second-hand clothes, shoes, and accessories only. Other larger items can be sold as part of our Antiques & Collectibles Fair outside. You can also contact us if you'd like to book for the fair outside. Pitches are £20.00 per booking. Spaces are big enough for a standard size car and space to showcase your treasures.
