IACF, short for International Antiques & Collectors Fairs, is a UK-based organizer focused on large-format antiques and collectors markets. The company presents itself as the organizer of Europe’s largest antiques fairs and says it runs fairs in 7 locations across the United Kingdom, with a calendar of over 30 fairs a year.

Its portfolio is centered on recurring multi-day trade-and-public buying events that attract dealers, collectors, interior designers, resellers, and casual buyers looking for antiques, vintage goods, and collectible items. Newark is the organizer’s best-known venue and is promoted as Europe’s biggest antiques and collectors fair, hosting 6 events per year at Newark Showground.

Ardingly is another major venue and is described as the biggest antiques and collectors fair in the South of England.
