Market Harborough

Every Sunday there is an antique and collectable fair in Market Harborough.  This used to be held in the Market Hall, but it has now moved to the Assembly Rooms at Welland Park Academy, Welland Park Road, Market Harborough, until April, due to redevelopment work going on at the Market Hall.
Sunday the 19th was the first time we started in the new venue, and were welcomed back with smiles, greetings and hugs from existing traders.The new room looked promising, huge car park, easy access, all facilities inc a cafe.  Hall very well lit and spaced out plenty of room so seemed ideal until we found out we had no power supply for our lamps, but since it was so well lit it didn't really matter.  Surprisingly there was a very good footfall of people and quite a few traders came in early ( I had two fighting over my Mappin&Webb Bridge set) and stuff started to fly!!  Good selection is stuff ranging from books, postcards, pictures, bric a brac, to serious antiques such as jewellery, Moorcroft, Dresden, clocks and silverware.
Being outside the town centre (just) I was slightly worried, but it seemed to be a success, so now it's establishing its new venue hopefully it will continue until the Market Hall is complete.
The market is a good place for bargain hunting as quite a few items are cheaper than the bigger antique fairs as there are fewer overheads and the stalls are cheap to rent.
I go back again on the 2nd and 16th February, 9th and 16th March, a lot is happening beyond March so we will be pacing ourselves in-between other major fairs.
