24th Gippsland Antiques and Collectables Fair 2019
This weekend event is now in its 24th year and has grown into a major event in Gippsland with a huge range of antiques and collectables on display and for sale. There will be something for everyone including historical displays, collections to view and plenty of bargains to be purchased, with over 50 local and interstate dealers in attendance. Free antique appraisals will be available on both days, so if you have something old and interesting bring it a long for Ross Roycroft to appraise for you. This Fair is a great opportunity for collectors to get together and socialize over the whole weekend or just drop in for an hour or so to look at items of interest. Full catering will be available. The Fair is organised by the Gippsland Antique Bottles and Collectables Club Inc.
The Fair is open on Saturday 23rd November from 9:30 am until 5:00 pm and Sunday 24th November 9:30 am until 2:00 pm at Kernot Hall, Princess Drive, Morwell.
