Are you a keen collector, or just starting out? Either way, you can find something to treasure at one of the region's vintage fairs.

With the easing of Covid-19 restrictions, vintage fairs are starting to open up again, offering everything from furniture and jewellery to old vinyl records or seaside ornaments.

Some have had to rearrange several times, but they are looking forward to welcoming back customers over the summer.

Here are details of just a few fairs lined up over the coming weeks, but many others are also being planned. It's important to check websites or social media before travelling in case dates and arrangements change.

Admission fees quoted are for buyers only - traders will need to contact the organisers in advance.
