The positive outlook for 2026 follows a strong 2025 year for iacf fairs, which saw growth in both dealer participation and buyer attendance. That momentum gives iacf confidence that 2026 will see further growth, increased footfall, and continued engagement from both the trade and the public.
Will Thomas, Managing Director of iacf, commented:
“The 2026 calendar reflects the strength and resilience of the UK antiques and collectors market. We saw encouraging growth in 2025, with more dealers and buyers engaging with our fairs, and we fully expect that momentum to continue. Our focus remains on delivering high-quality, well-organised fairs that support the trade and inspire collectors across the UK.”
