I’ve bought a large item that won’t fit in my car! How can I get it home?

If you’ve bought an item too large for your car then it’s worth asking the dealer first if they can deliver it for you. If they can’t they may know someone who can. You can always ask one of our stewards for a hand too!

I can’t find the dealer I bought off! Can you help?

Our fairs are very large, so it’s important that you get the details of the person who you are making a purchase from. You can also download sitemaps of all our fairs prior to leaving, make a note of the area you purchased from, to help you remember.

What is the most sustainable way to shop?

iacf antiques fairs are the most sustainable way to shop for clothing, gifts, home interior, shop stock and interior, restaurant interior and more. You can get the most ethically conscious items to suit all your environmentally friendly needs. Antique furniture doesn’t only come with unique styles that you can’t find in modern furniture, it also helps save the environment by reducing carbon footprint and by reducing the amount of mass made items that only last a few years and get thrown into the landfill.

When it comes to vintage fashion, there is no better way to reduce fast fashion and reduce the support that sweatshops receive from big brands than to shop at iacf antiques fairs. Our antiques fairs provide you with high quality vintage clothing from small business who have sourced it ethically and socially consciously.

Where can I buy antiques in Somerset?

Shepton Mallet Antiques Fairs is the largest and most successful antiques fair in the West Country. There is quite literally nothing like it in the area, so if you are looking for antiques in Somerset, Shepton Mallet Antiques Fair is the place to be.
