Paper Heritage : Stamp Fairs

Below is a list of some of the fairs that Paper Heritage will be attending over the next few months.

Whilst larger and more distant fairs are often booked well in advance, fairs within 50-60 miles of us are often booked at very short notice. If you would like us to let you know next time we are due to be at a fair in your area, please email us, preferably with an evening landline phone number.
On quiet days at some fairs, dealers may start to pack up 30 minutes from the scheduled end. If you think you may arrive very close to the scheduled finish, please let us know in advance.

Travel Information : We recommend that you verify any public transport information that we have provided below before setting out. Bus details, in particular, are prone to frequent change.
