The privately run Antique and Collectors Fair will take place at the venue on Sunday(19) – following the closure of the hall and grounds in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The event will be held outdoors in the hall courtyard and lawns between 9am and 4pm. Social distancing and hygiene measures will be in place to ensure the safety of both visitors and traders.

Vicky Rowson, the fair organiser said “We are pleased to announce the return of the fairs at the Historic Hall in Dudley. The fairs were brought back to life in July 2019 at Himley Hall after a hiatus of nearly 30 years but unfortunately had to be suspended due to the outbreak of Covid-19 back in March."

Councillor Ian Kettle, Dudley Council's cabinet member responsible for Himley Hall, said: "We are delighted to be able to welcome the Antiques and Collectors Fair back to Himley Hall after a difficult few months.

"I hope that people come along to support the event and enjoy shopping in such beautiful and unique surroundings."

Entry to the fair costs £2 per person with under 16s free of charge.
