Following another successful year in Petworth Park, the next fair is scheduled to be held from Friday, May 16 to Sunday, May 18, 2025. The famous National Trust property in the picturesque market town of Petworth has proved an ideal venue, attracting thousands of eager visitors. The Petworth Park Antiques & Fine Art Fair has over 60 exhibitors in its spacious marquee, predominantly members of The British Antique Dealers’ Association and LAPADA, the Association of Art & Antiques Dealers. They offer for sale a wide range of desirable items such as fine period furniture, Asian art, clocks, oil and watercolour paintings, maps, glass, sculpture, lighting, vintage watches, boxes, silver and jewellery together with ceramics, 20th-century design objects, drawings and prints, textiles and carpets, applied arts and many other decorative and unique works of art from the ancient to the contemporary.
The fair will be working again closely with The National Trust at Petworth House and with the local dealer association PAADA and the Petworth Business Association, creating yet another exciting event. The grand 17th-century house boasts an internationally important art collection, and together with its ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped country park, it provides a magnificent backdrop for our annual fair.
