Mini Fair

Mini Fair 2012 29th January

Our Mini Fair indoor event held annually in January is one of the most well attended National Mini Shows. Mini Fair was established in 2000, giving enthusiasts the opportunity to buy those Mini parts for that winter restoration. Mini Fair is that winter essential, giving our spirits a lift in those dark winter months. Mini Fair is held in the Halls at Staffordshire County Showground, also known as Bingley Hall, near Stafford in the West Midlands. Post code for your sat nav of Google maps is ST18 0BD

Doors open earlier this year @ 9:30 am
