The Garden Rooms at Tennants of Leyburn.
Northern Antiques Fair announces autumn dates
Dates for this year’s Northern Antiques Fair in North Yorkshire have been announced. The annual fair, staged at The Garden Rooms Tennants of Leyburn, runs from September 26-29.
Organiser Ingrid Nilson says: “The rebooking rate is high as this is a well-regarded annual event and we very much look forward to returning to Tennants in early Autumn 2024.”
The fair is one of the first to take place after the quieter summer season. Last year it coincided with both British Art Fair and the LAPADA Berkeley Square Fair, but the latter event runs later this year, slated for October 22-27.

The Society of Antiquaries in London is celebrating the 150th anniversary of its moving to Burlington House with an exhibition during London Art Week. It features 20 works created by Adam Dant – who usually designs the LAW gallery map – and Dan Llywelyn Hall, inspired by items from the Society’s collection.
Most of the works will be sold in an online auction held from June 1-July 5, with a live auction taking place on July 4 with Matthew Haley of Bonhams Knightsbridge, one of the LAW participants. Funds raised in the auction will support the cataloguing and digitisation of the Society’s collection of around 25,000 18th and 19th century prints and drawings.
