Classic Antique Fairs

At Classic Antique Fairs you can browse glass, furniture, silver, porcelain, pottery, jewellery, sculpture, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and 20th-century art from specialist dealers over three days in Hall 11 at NEC Birmingham. Classic Antique Fairs runs this antiques and fine arts fair, organised by InLoco Events, and the organiser says it revived the NEC antiques and arts fairs in 2023. You can visit on any of the three days, as the fair is open to the public throughout, and a café on site serves refreshments and light lunches.

Exhibiting as a dealer

If you are a dealer, you can ask the organiser for a booking form or register your interest to exhibit through the fair’s website, which names two contacts, David and John. If you are new to exhibiting, you may find our guides to choosing your first UK trade show and building an exhibition budget useful.

Other Classic Antique Fairs events

You can also look out for the organiser’s fair at Perth Racecourse in Scotland, with 30 to 35 stands, which is now postponed, with a new 2027 date still to be announced. Its fairs are also listed on Antiques Atlas.

Getting to Hall 11 and parking

You can pre-book NEC parking at a discounted £8 per day through the organiser’s visitor page. Drivers reach the site from the M42, M40 and M6 using the postcode B40 1NT, then follow the on-site digital screens to the car park, because the postcode does not lead to the event car park. A free shuttle bus runs from the car parks, or you can use the signposted footpaths. The NEC is a five-minute walk from Birmingham International Railway Station. The NEC’s own visitor pages add that its cloakrooms charge £2 per coat and £3 per bag. Other events in the Birmingham trade show calendar at the same venue include Spring Fair from 7 February 2027.
