THE days of grand openings and celebrity visitors may be over for the annual Chelsea fair, but its willingness to update its persona is certainly on trend.
The next Penman fair in Chelsea takes place down the King’s Road from BADA 2017, coinciding with it almost to the day, and also sports a new name: The Chelsea Antiques, Art & Design Fair.
Running from March 15-19 in its usual place at Chelsea Town Hall, it is not substantially different in the essentials but the name change invites all-comers, from private buyers to decorators, to the longstanding event.
