Torquay to welcome new regular antiques fair

The Rotary Club of Tormohun in Torquay will benefit from a new monthly antiques fair, launching at the Livermead House Hotel. 

The initiative, spearheaded by Rotarian Stephen Large of Large Events, aims to bring together antique enthusiasts while supporting the club and the community.

The first fair will take place on Sunday, November 24, followed by another on Sunday, December 15, with monthly events scheduled throughout 2025.

Local Torquay resident and ex-auctioneer Stephen Large said: “This is Torbay`s only antiques fair, and I am delighted that we can hold these events at the Livermead House Hotel as it is an ideal, well-equipped venue with easy access and good parking, coupled with many antiques itself.”

The fairs have already generated significant local interest, with Torbay-based dealers welcoming the opportunity to showcase their wares closer to home. 

Antique fairs are among the best places to discover silver and gold items, and visitors can expect a diverse selection of antique and vintage treasures, including fine china, silver, paintings, rugs, ceramics, glassware, jewellery, and rustic decorative pieces.

The inaugural fair is already receiving widespread publicity, with 30 dealers, including representatives from local charities, expected to participate.
