Every May, Petworth’s long association with art and antiques spills out into the park for the Petworth Park Antiques & Fine Art Fair. Set in a large marquee against the rather magnificent backdrop of Petworth House and its Capability Brown landscape, the fair brings together more than 60 exhibitors, including members of the British Antique Dealers’ Association and LAPADA.
And there is plenty to browse. Expect everything from period furniture, paintings, silver and jewellery to sculpture, ceramics, vintage watches, Oriental carpets, maps, prints and 20th-century design, with pieces ranging from the ancient to the contemporary.
It feels particularly at home in Petworth. With the internationally important art collection at Petworth House on one side and the town’s galleries and antique shops on the other, this is a place that takes its art and antiques rather seriously.
The next Petworth Park Antiques & Fine Art Fair takes place from 7–9 May 2027, with a courtesy shuttle linking the fair, Petworth House and the town centre. Fair visitors also receive free admission to Petworth House during the three-day event.
