Collectorama Fair is back in Nambour next month

Fans of collectables can look forward to a bustling fair on March 6.

They’re back! It’s all systems go for Collectorama’s giant vintage fair, March 6 at Nambour Showgrounds. Throngs of connoisseurs converge for a day to revel in vintage, meet their friends, nab a bargain and network with traders.

Collectorama is 30 years old and going strong! Event originators Tom and Laurie Wall are more passionate about their Fair than ever. “It’s an incredible buzz on the day to see everyone having such a fun time,” said Laurie (aka Mrs Collectorama). 

“The atmosphere is buoyant and friendly. It seems really important to keep providing this event so all that cool vintageness can find good owners and not be lost!” 

The Collectorama entourage comprises around 150 stallies, so there’s an awesome amount of carefully sourced and curated collectables.

“Dealers are always looking to buy stock,” Tom said.  “If you’ve got items to sell, talk to the traders, if it’s too big to bring, show them a photo. The knowledge base of some of our people is astounding.”

• Opening time is 7am until 2pm, entry $6 each, kids under 12 free admission. Parking is free. Meet up with friends, relish the coffee and food trucks, take advantage of the ATM, and savour the day! Collectorama supports WILVOS wildlife rescuers and carers.
