The late Cindy Mainwaring Mack.
Cindy was a Chelsea housewife when she started running a bric-a- brac fair at the Old Chelsea Town Hall in October 1979. Cindy’s Chelsea Fair was so successful that she rebooked at Christmas of that year and continued once a month for over 30 years.
In the 1990s, she also ran the high-end Mainwaring’s Antiques Fair which ran on Sundays alongside the Saturday ‘Cindy’s Fair’.
