Organiser Colin Caygill’s antiques and vintage fairs portfolio, established in 1981, now covers an impressive list running regularly at 12 long-standing venues across Northumberland, Durham, Tyne & Wear, Yorkshire and Cumbria.
These include his flagship fairs at New College at Durham University with 150- 160 exhibitors, launched in 1999, and at the Wentworth Leisure Centre in Hexham, Northumberland, which started 20 years ago. The latter is held on a Tuesday and the 120 tables are always sold out, said Caygill.
The Durham fair has been such a winner that he launched a new event last September at the university’s Sport Building in Stockton-on-Tees which was a great success.
