Penmans enjoy an excellent reputation for smoothly run events where quality, a good balance of disciplines, fairness and friendliness are to the fore, bringing a stimulating and enjoyable time for both visitors and exhibitors. Penmans offer modestly priced stands to respected dealers with high standards of knowledge, dealership and stock. As a result, the Fairs offer the public a wide selection of fairly priced quality antiques to enjoy and purchase, with the assurance that exhibitors are expected to label everything descriptively, with the price and date. This is backed up by a Vetting Committee before each fair opens.
In spring 2019, the Limited Company is being dissolved, and Penman Antiques Fairs reverts to Caroline Penman, as a sole trader. Barbara and Ben will assist when needed, but the schedule of fairs is shorter, with Chester and Burford fairs run by Cooper Events and Two Cs Fairs respectively.
