The Kyneton Antique & Vintage Fair is celebrating its 21st anniversary. It's a fair that is held annually on the first weekend in September and the Friends of the Kyneton Museum group are proudly hosting the "coming of age" of this special event.
Well-known and emerging vintage and antique dealers will be there selling their wares, with collections ranging from a thimble to a grandfather clock and everything in between.
If it is the latest vintage trend be it clothing, jewellery, homewares or ornaments that interests you, there is such a variety that it's likely you will find something to suit your style there.
The Antique & Vintage Fair is being held at Kyneton Town Hall and will be open from:
Friday 1st September 5:00pm to 8:00pm
Saturday 2nd September 10:00am to 5:00pm
Sunday 3rd September 10:00am to 4:00pm
After all these years, at only $7 entry, it is still the best deal ticket in town!
On opening night, Friday 1st September, you can join in the celebrations of the 21st anniversary with a glass of Hanging Rock wine and light refreshments provided by the Friends of the Kyneton Museum, along with some live local music. It will be a great night for lovers of vintage and antiques.
During the day there will be light lunches available, including delectable baked goods and the ever-popular home-made soups at the Rotary Club of Kyneton Country Kitchen in the Richardson Room, which is inside the Town Hall.
The Kyneton Antique & Vintage Fair is the major fundraiser for the Friends of the Kyneton Museum, and partnering with the Rotary Club each year, makes it a wonderful community event. All funds raised assist with the conservation of the collection, as well as the development of new projects at the beautiful Kyneton Museum.
About the Kyneton Museum
The Kyneton Museum Collection is a display of the social history of Kyneton and districts that reflects the lives of residents from early settlement to around the 1930s. The collection consists of approximately 9,000 items ranging from fine china, lace and furniture to agricultural equipment, wagons, carriages, costumes and saddles, tools and harnesses.
The historically significant collection reflects the lifestyles of the people from the district in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Many items demonstrate a way of life which has since disappeared and reflect on the slower pace and closer community ties of the time and place.
This is a fantastic collection of the region's history, which is well worth a visit at any time.
If you want more to do while you're in Kyneton, why don't you check out the
Daffodil and Arts Festival which runs from Thursday 31st August to Sunday 10th September. There are some fabulous
gardens open to the public during the festival as well.

If you visit on Sunday 3rd September the
Carlsruhe Fire Brigade's Wine & Food Festival will have a range of local wine, beer & food producers and a range of craft, woodworking and variety stalls.
And if that's not enough or maybe you want to make a weekend getaway out of it, then there is plenty to do in the
Macedon Ranges which are well worth a visit at any time of year.
This event is popular with both the locals and antique collectors from around the country, so this 21st Anniversary Celebration is gearing up to be an event not to be missed!
So why not make a weekend of it and discover the wonders of Kyneton and the Macedon Ranges while you are there.
