Kensington Antiques Fair – Today 3rd June – Sun 6th June

June 23rd, 2010

Kensington Antiques Fair – Today 3rd June – Sun 6th June

Today (Thursday 3rd June) sees the opening of the annual West London Penman fine art and antique fair in Kensington Town Hall. . .

Like the fair held in Chelsea Town Hall, this smaller fair can easily be overlooked and overshadowed but is worth a visit. This year there are nearly 60 exhibitors with a wonderfully eclectic mix of dealers ranging from ‘Midwinter Antiques’ 17th Century pieces right through to ‘Le Style 25’s’ 20th Century decorative arts.

As this fair will coincide with the Olympia Fair, it is worth going along en route! The fair is open till 8pm each evening and 6pm on Sunday
