If you want first dibs on the best antiques, you can purchase early entry tickets for Saturday which allow visitors to start shopping from 8.30am. Early entry tickets cost £6, standard Saturday cost £5 and Sunday tickets cost £4.

Saturday tickets also allow re-entry on Sunday so if you haven’t got your fill of goodies on day one, you can come back and do it all over again.

The fair closes at 4.30pm on Saturday and 3.30pm on Sunday, so you have plenty of time to shop ‘til you drop.

Tickets can be purchased on the gate and are cash-only. Also, while some traders may have card payment facilities, the majority will not so make sure you bring plenty of cash with you.
