The Connoisseur Club
Founded in 1995 by Robert Bailey Fairs, the Connoisseur Club is designed for people such as yourselves, who are collectors of antiques and art and those who regularly visit Robert Bailey events.

The Club’s purpose is to provide information and valuable extra services, as well as saving you money when you visit the fairs.

Exclusive and Prestigious Venues
The benefits of becoming a Bailey Connoisseur Club member are almost too numerous to mention. Apart from valuable dealer discounts and free entry to prestigious Bailey and Penman Antique Fairs.

Whether you’re a serious antique buyer or simply an enthusiastic amateur, when you’re a Connoisseur Club member there’s an almost instant payback.

A Membership to Suit You
Full membership of the Connoisseur Club is just £25 per annum – a cost many members recover in a single visit to one of our fairs.

Alternatively you can choose a lifetime membership for only £100 – a lifetime of benefits for the equivalent price of just four years’ annual membership.

Quality Assured
But don’t just take our word for it – try it for yourself. To join the club, or receive more information, either submit your name and email address using the form below or give us a call.

Like the other members of the Connoisseur Club you’ll find the savings soon start to build, and of course you’ll be able to take advantage of the many free services, like expert opinions, advice on insurance, the help line, the antique search service and much more – you’ll quickly appreciate just how valuable your Connoisseur Club card can be.

What’s more, Bailey Antique Fairs are all genuine authenticated quality events. As a visitor it means you have a virtual guarantee.

Robert Bailey Fairs are also the number one organiser of quality antique fairs nationwide and enjoy a reputation for excellence both in the trade and among collectors worldwide.
