Four Fairs, Four Exceptional Locations
The Pavilions of Harrogate Decorative, Antiques & Art Fair
Great Yorkshire Events Centre
Set in the heart of Harrogate, this fair is a popular fixture in the northern antiques calendar. Visitors can expect a carefully curated selection of period and decorative pieces, fine art, silver, and furniture, all presented in a relaxed yet elegant environment.
The Cheshire Decorative, Antiques & Art Fair
Chester Racecourse
This well-attended fair at the historic Chester Racecourse brings together an array of quality dealers offering everything from 18th-century furniture to 20th-century design, alongside vintage jewellery, decorative objects, and original artworks.
The Annual Buxton Decorative, Antiques & Art Fair
Buxton Pavilion
Taking place each spring in one of Derbyshire’s finest heritage venues, the Buxton fair has earned a reputation for variety and excellence. It’s a must-visit for those seeking distinctive pieces with character, from serious collectors to discerning home decorators.
The Cotswolds Decorative, Antiques & Art Fair
Westonbirt School, Tetbury
Held three times a year in the stately surroundings of Westonbirt School, this fair combines the charm of the Cotswolds with an impressive breadth of period and decorative antiques. A favourite with interior designers, collectors, and enthusiasts alike.
A Commitment to Quality and Expertise
One of the defining features of Cooper Events fairs is the calibre of exhibitors. Each event features a broad selection of specialist dealers drawn from across the UK, many of whom are recognised authorities in their field and members of Bada, Lapada and Cinoa. Their collective knowledge spans centuries, and their shared dedication to sourcing remarkable pieces is evident throughout every stand you will see at a Coopers Fair.
Among our exhibitors are long-established fine art galleries offering works by known and emerging artists; antique furniture specialists presenting well-preserved pieces from the Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian periods; and expert dealers in antique silver, Asian art, rare glass, and textiles. Also represented are jewellery experts offering antique and vintage pieces from celebrated houses, as well as dealers in Mid-Century Modern design, decorative interiors, garden statuary, and architectural elements.
Often spanning eras from the 1700s through to the mid-20th century, the items offered are chosen not just for their age, but for their design integrity, provenance, and condition. The pieces on display reflect a wide spectrum of historic styles and practical uses, offering both aesthetic appeal and historical interest.
Why Visit a Cooper Events Fair?
Our fairs provide a welcoming and well-organised environment where visitors can browse at their leisure, engage directly with trusted dealers, and discover objects of exceptional character. These events have long held their place in the antiques fair calendar, with The Cotswolds Decorative, Antiques & Art Fair celebrating 25 years next year, and The Pavilions of Harrogate Fair having delighted visitors for over 12 years. The Annual Buxton Fair, under our stewardship for the past 10 years, continues a legacy that spans nearly 60 years, while The Cheshire Fair is the newest addition, now in its fifth year and rapidly growing in reputation.
Each fair attracts a loyal following of collectors, interior designers, and enthusiasts, many of whom have attended since the very first editions. At the same time, we’re seeing a growing number of younger buyers and emerging collectors drawn to the unique mix of quality and individuality that our exhibitors offer. Whether you’re investing in a significant piece or seeking something to complement an interior scheme or a new home, a Cooper Events fair is a rewarding experience for all generations of antique lovers.
