Battersea Autumn Decorative Fair: We'll Be There

We're excited to be visiting the Autumn Decorative Fair at Battersea Park on Thursday 1st October, and we can't wait to explore one of the UK's most celebrated antiques, design and art events.

About the Autumn Decorative Fair

The Autumn Decorative Fair has been a cornerstone of the art and design calendar since 1985, and this year's edition takes place from Tuesday 29th September to Sunday 4th October 2026 at Evolution London, Battersea Park.

Set against the backdrop of one of London's most picturesque parks, the fair brings together over 130 specialist dealers offering a rich mix of traditional and decorative antiques, 20th-century modernist design and interior accessories spanning the 1700s to the 1970s. Art lovers will also find plenty to admire, with classical to contemporary paintings, prints and sculpture on show throughout.

Come and Say Hello

Fairs like this one are a brilliant chance to see exceptional pieces up close and get a real feel for the craftsmanship and history behind them. For us, the day is really about the people.

We'll be spending Thursday catching up with clients we already work with, introducing ourselves to dealers we haven't met before, and talking through how we can help with your website, online marketing or getting set up on the Antiques Boutique marketplace.

If you're exhibiting or visiting on the day and would like to grab five minutes with myself or Liv, get in touch beforehand and we'll arrange a time to come and find you.

Tip for dealers exhibiting at Battersea: printing a QR code on your price labels and display cards, linking straight to the item on your website, makes it easy for visitors to take a piece home with them (even when they're not ready to buy), and it drives traffic straight to your site from people who spotted you on the day. We wrote about this in more detail here: Why every item on your stand should have a QR code on it.

Looking Forward to Battersea

With over 130 dealers and a fantastic mix of antiques, design and art, the Autumn Decorative Fair is shaping up to be a highlight of the design season. We can't wait to be there on 1st October, see you at Battersea!
