Adams Antiques Fairs

Fair organiser Adams Antiques Fairs runs monthly events at The Royal Horticultural Hall in London. The antiques fair affectionately known as ‘The Horti’ has been going since the early 1970s and is the longest-running monthly Sunday antiques fair in the capital. 

Adams Antiques Fairs is owned and run by Matthew Adams, a dealer-turned-fair organiser. He also runs the Frock Me! vintage fairs, held at both Chelsea and Kensington Town Halls.
