Antique, Jewellery and Collectables Fair, back, bigger and better – June 17–18

Like to collect unique furniture, jewellery, or decorator items? Enjoy browsing for one-of-a-kind curios and collectables? Here’s an event not to be missed!

Returning for its 39th year, the annual Zonta Club of Orange Antique, Jewellery and Collectables Fair on June 17–18 is attracting dealers from across Australia, with more stalls and more goodies than ever before.

This fair attracts visitors from throughout the Central West and not only gives them the opportunity to shop collections from some of Australia’s top antique and collectable dealers but also raises funds to give back to the local community.

Last year, Zonta donated more than $20,000 to Housing Plus, Orange Family Support Service and other local organisations to help them continue to take care of our homeless people, provide court advocacy, and post-release support and education programs across the community,  Zonta Club President, Melanie Meers said.

“We were also very happy to contribute towards providing shelter for women and families affected by domestic and family violence and ensure some playgroups and childcare options were kept running,” she added.

But none of this would be possible without the support of the local community coming along and enjoying this annual and family-friendly event, Melanie said.

Back by popular demand is the exclusive ticket-only Preview Night on Friday, June 16, which this year includes a glass of wine, canapes, and live music from the local and Magda Chamber Ensemble. The VIP Preview begins at 5.30pm, with tickets available via Eventbrite.

Or you can take your chances that the best pieces are still available and come along on Saturday, June 17,  or Sunday, June 18, with the doors opening at 9.30am.  Tickets are $10 per day or $15 for a two-day pass! Children under 12 are free.

The Zonta Club of Orange meets at 6.30pm on the first Tuesday of each month at the Orange RSL and welcomes guests and new members with open arms! Check them out on Facebook and Instagram
