Antiques Fair,
Clontarf Castle Hotel, Castle Avenue, Clontarf, Dublin

On: Sunday 13th March, 2011 – 11am to 6pm

A well established event and one of the busiest on the fairs circuit, with over 40 dealers exhibiting.
From Furniture and Fine Art to vintage fashion, old coins and postcards, and everything in between, Sunday’s fair in Clontarf will be a bargain hunters paradise, with dealers from as far north as Donegal and as far south as Cork attending. Jewellery is always popular and you don’t have to flash a lot of cash in order to make an impression, with glamorous and unique vintage pieces starting from under €20. However, if you are looking for something really special, there will also be a fabulous selection of antique gold and gem set jewellery for sale. The fair is also a good place to source fine crystal and pretty crockery at reasonable prices, from individual porcelain cups and saucers from €15 a set, to a six setting dinner service from about €70.
Vertigo Vintage and Lark Vintager are two newcomers to this particular event, and will have a selection of vintage fashion including dresses, handbags, scarves, hats etc. If you are interested in antique furniture, Irish art, collectable postcards or old coins and military medals, you will find all these and more at the fair.

HOW TO GET THERE: Bus 130 from city centre (Lower Abbey St) every 20 minutes approx., stops right outside the hotel. Local DART to Clontarf station (10 minute walk along the seafront).
