An antiques, collectables and craft fair fills Calbourne Recreation Ground on Sunday 30 August, with sellers setting up from 8:30am and buyers admitted from 10am until 3pm. The field sits opposite The Sun Inn on Newport Road, with hall toilets and refreshments inside and Plaza Ices on the grass.
Entry is by donation for buyers, which keeps the barrier low if you are browsing rather than hunting a specific piece. Pitch fees for sellers are £15 for a 3m by 3m space or £20 for 6m by 3m; email AntiquesFair6@gmail.com to book a stall. A hot food van was still being arranged when the event was announced, so check closer to the date if you are planning lunch on site.
Calbourne Recreation Centre anchors the location on the road between Newport and the west Wight villages. Pair the fair with a walk around Calbourne Water Mill if you want to make a full Sunday of it. More community events across the island suit the same late-summer rummage mood.
