With a wide selection of quality items, the National Antique & Art Fair takes place at The South Court Hotel Limerick next weekend.

It has attracted over 70 antiques and art dealers, including members of the Irish Antique Dealers Association (IADA). The IADA president George Stacpoole will be in attendance. Organiser Robin O’Donnell of Hibernian Antique Fairs says that never before in Ireland have so many IADA members attended a fair outside Dublin.

This is the 21st year that the twice-yearly National Antique Fair will be in Limerick, which is always a particularly popular venue for this particular fair. Opening times are from 11am to 6pm.
