A selection from John Barber Antiques
Limerick Racecourse is the convenient venue for a two day antique, vintage and collectibles fair today and tomorrow. With dealers from around the country and more than 60 stands offering everything from Irish art and furniture to jewellery, silver, vintage fashion, arms, militaria, coins, banknotes, porcelain and all sorts of collectible items this event is a magnet for collectors and anyone in pursuit of something quirky and different.
This big Limerick fair takes place several times each year, is hugely popular and draws an audience from throughout Munster and beyond. The appetite for fairs like this is undiminished. Hibernian Antique Fairs held their first fair in Cork for more than five years at Corrin Event Centre near Fermoy a couple of weeks ago and more than 1,000 people turned out in what was one of the biggest attendances at a one day fair in 40 years.
