London's October art week is taking shape, with a full roster of fairs confirmed across the capital from mid-October. Frieze London returns to Regent's Park from 14 to 18 October with 172 galleries from 42 countries and regions, its invitation-only preview on Wednesday 14 October before public days begin the following day. New curated sections join the main gallery lineup this year, alongside the fair's established programming for emerging and project-based presentations. Running alongside in the park, Frieze Masters covers art made before 2000, pairing historical material with the contemporary fair a short walk away. Around the two flagship tents, a set of satellite fairs widens the week's range. PAD London takes over Berkeley Square from 13 to 18 October with collectable design, decorative arts and jewellery, while 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair returns to Somerset House from 15 to 18 October. Shoreditch's Truman Brewery hosts The Other Art Fair from 8 to 11 October, with more than 135 independent artists selling directly, plus installations, workshops, performances and DJs. Over in Fitzrovia, Minor Attractions stages its fourth edition from 13 to 17 October at The Newman hotel, bringing together more than 75 commercial galleries and not-for-profit spaces with a programme mixing art, music, performance and nightlife. Fair guides updated this week note that further special events are still being added to the calendar, with venues, links and dates being refreshed daily. Between the main tents and the satellites, the week now stretches from museum-grade historical work to artist-direct sales — and with online-only ticketing the norm at the larger fairs, visitors are advised to book ahead.
