New year, new dates for everyone's favourite fair ...


For more than thirty years, the very popular Collectorama Fair has been running four times a year and because in 2022 we still have a 'bug proviso' to contend with, will hopefully still kick off in March and continue without any further 'misadventure' in May, September and November.

With heaps of treasure to browse and lovingly pore over, plus plenty of sizzling bargains, the gigantic Collectorama Fair's Convenors, Tom and Laurie Wall are renowned for having a solid reputation for curating a massively eclectic fair, full of vintage awesomeness.

Indoors and outdoors ...


So … if vintage, retro, antique and totally unique is your 'thing', then the Collectorama Fair will most certainly tick all your boxes. Collectorama attracts dealers - more than one hundred and fifty of them - from all over South East Queensland and beyond. These dealers and collectors create a trademark array of rich collectable heaven at affordable prices, aimed at the selective shopper.

A rich collectable heaven at affordable prices ...


The Nambour Showgrounds provide an awesome all-weather venue with plenty of space for dealers and discerning buyers to observe social distancing, remain Covid safe and browse at leisure. The Fair's entourage of one hundred and fifty dealers sprawls spaciously under two massive pavilions, across grassed areas, as well as inside the old hall.

Collectorama Fair at the Nambour Showgrounds is a not-to-be-missed Saturday day trip to bookmark, if not for shopping, just to step into and enjoy the friendly world of collectors, in an atmosphere of quality made memorabilia from bygone eras.

Step into and enjoy the friendly world of collectors ...


Conveners Tom and Laurie Wall have successfully kept antique and vintage culture alive and well by crafting a monumental experience for all collectors. It really is a case of: one person's trash, is another person's treasure! The recycling of precious souvenirs and treasures all aid in reducing our ecological footprint on planet earth, which adds to the appeal of a trip to the Collectorama Fair in Nambour.
