Donington Antiques Market moves into the Exhibition Hall for 2012

2012 sees the relocation of the popular Antiques Market at Donington Park from the Tarmac Lake and Launch Pad to the newly refurbished Exhibition Centre and surrounding hard standing. The Arthur Swallow Team is really excited about the move as the new venue allows stallholders to have the same generous pitch sizes but with the added benefits that a building can offer away from the elements of the great British weather. The event will still retain its drive in format with stall allocation on arrival but with a slightly later start to trading of 7.30am, signalled by a blast of the airhorn!

Donington creates an opportunity for buyers to find real treasure!

Bringing together everything from classic antiques, collectables and jewellery to furniture, shabby chic and gorgeous decorative furnishings, Donington Antiques Market is an early morning of brisk trading that wraps up by lunchtime so be sure to arrive early if you want to bag yourself a bargain.

Pole Position start for the 1st Antiques Market of the year...

The first Donington Antiques Market of 2011 which was held on 22nd March again has proven to be a massive success once again.  With the sun shining and well over a hundred stall holders arriving at the crack of dawn! Followed very quickly by two thousand eager buyers, discovering a fabulous array of Antique furniture, Jewellery, textiles, and collectables.  We were certainly amazed by the success of the event.  And with the new addition of the venues Launch Pad building accommodating room for up to 60 indoor stalls just added to the success of the Market.

 

The Market that began last year is proving to be a very popular addition to the antique calendar, with its one day format and being held in an unbeatable location so centrally based.  The Market has gathered momentum at an astonishing speed demonstrating an obvious winning formula and with bookings being confirmed and many enquiries the next Donington Antiques Market May 3rd looks set to be an event not be missed by anyone.
