Our aim is to establish worldwide contacts between private and trade buyers and sellers by acting as a portal site for respected antique dealers and event organisers and by publishing frequently up-dated news and feature content and a top ranked Antiques Fairs Calendar.

One of the new features on re-launched website September 2015 is our Events Calendar for the following events: museums, galleries, antique dealers' associations, dealer showroom events, specific saleroom events and book launches.

Antiques News & Fairs originated in 1997, when the newspaper, Antiques & Art Independent was published for the first time and went on to publish over half a million copies. It was published on the internet a few months later in 1998 as Antiques News and replaced the print version of Antiques & Art Independent in 2001.

Following ten successful years Antiques News was acquired by a new publisher and was re-launched it in October 2008 under the name of Antiques News & Fairs reflecting the popularity of the Fairs Calendar on the site.

Publisher and editor, Gail McLeod welcomes relevant press releases and contributions from the trade and public.
