The Petworth Park Antiques & Fine Art Fair can go ahead as planned in September after the National Trust deemed it an ‘outdoor’ event.
All forthcoming indoor fairs have been effectively cancelled by a government announcement prolonging restrictions on events of more than 30 people taking place at conference and event venues until October 1.
However, the West Sussex fair, which runs in a marquee in the grounds of Petworth House, has qualified as an outdoor event. Last week it was granted approval by the National Trust to take place from September 11-13 – a date rescheduled from its original spot in May.
