Milestone annual fair collects $10,000 for local charities

THE 30th annual Coffs Antique & Collectors Fair was another huge success, raising $10,000 for local charities.

Once again, patrons came from far and wide to enjoy this two-day event at Coffs Harbour Exhibition Hall, which was packed to the rafters with unusual antiques and collectable items.

The 35 exhibits of bottles and collectables were of a particularly high standard, which made the judges’ decisions difficult.

Grand Champion Award went to Lulu Northcott with her stunning display of miniature china set out in a doll’s house.  Trevor Brooks took out the Best Bottle Display category with his variety of soda siphons, while the People’s Choice Award went to Wendy Northcott’s beautiful Shelley Display.

Staged by Coffs Harbour Collectors Club Inc, the 2026 fair was made possible with the help of local Rotary Clubs and volunteers.

Special thanks to Australasian Shelley Club, Coffs Harbour Lapidary Club, local vintage car clubs, Orara Valley Museum, and Coffs Harbour Brass Band, all of which contributed to a most enjoyable weekend.

Coffs Harbour Collectors Club is extremely grateful to the stall holders and visiting public for making the 30th fair such a fantastic community event.

All profits from the Fair will go local charities,

Save the date for next year –  29 and 30 May.
