Tipplefair is alive and well and living in Peterborough
The drink related collectors fair known as 'Tipplefair' was due to end forever last year. We at the Pub History Society didn't like the idea so that's why we've now taken over the planning and running of the event in association with the Peterborough Beer Festival.
We're still in the planning stages but essentially Tipplefair will be held on Saturday 25th August from midday to 5pm. Admission is £2.
Anyone wishing to book a table at the event is encouraged to contact us via the web address below. Tables for exhibitors will cost between £12 and £24. Concessions possibly available for similar societies to our own.
A website has been set up and more information will be posted as we go along.
