What People Say
It is a lovely day out with very good quality items for sale and beautiful stands to browse through, an original and unique shopping experience. I'm coming back in the Spring.
The Fair was absolutely amazing; we had the best day out! I enjoyed walking around all of the different stalls finding unique gifts and things for my home. I have recommended the Fair to all of my friends and will definitely be attending the next one.
I had a lovely time. Loved the garden and the roomsets, have been going for 20 years now and liked the new venue.
Fantastic, magical, great day out!

THE COUNTRY LIVING SPRING FAIR 2020 CANCELLED

It is with great regret that Upper Street Events has taken the decision that, as a result of the evolving Covid-19 situation, it is no longer possible for us to hold The Country Living Spring Fair 2020 (23 – 26 April, Alexandra Palace).

We have been following UK Government guidelines and working advice from Public Health England and other organisations as the situation has evolved and, given the latest announcements with regards to mass gatherings, it is now with much sadness that we have taken the decision to cancel the event.  The safety and wellbeing of our staff, exhibitors, visitors, partners and contractors is of the upmost importance to us, and the protection and prevention of harm to all involved is vital.

Ticket holders, exhibitors and sponsors will be contacted directly within the next 14 days with regards to transferring bookings or refunds as required.

We are sincerely sorry that we have had to take this incredibly difficult course of action and thank you for bearing with us at this uncertain time.

Please take care and we hope to invite you back to events later in the year.
