LAPADA, the London fair for art, antiques, jewellery and design, returns to Berkeley Square from Wednesday 27 October to Sunday 1 November 2026. The 2026 edition brings more than 80 international exhibitors to the heart of Mayfair for five days of collecting and networking, and marks what the fair calls a new chapter in its history since launching in 2009. The fair spans fine art, tapestries and antiques through jewellery, furniture and ceramics, with prices ranging from 500 pounds to 500,000 pounds and beyond. Every piece exhibited is vetted by LAPADA's 70-member specialist committee, giving buyers confidence in authenticity and quality. The mix includes internationally renowned dealers, several making their LAPADA debuts, such as Andreas de Jong with Godson and Coles, Ronald Phillips and Somlo, alongside returning exhibitors including Adrian Alan, Butchoff Antiques, MacConnal-Mason and Koopman Rare Art. The new era is being led by chief executive Elizabeth Shanks, who joined LAPADA last year. Her strategy aims to strengthen the fair's position as an international commercial platform for leading dealers by attracting international collectors and museum buyers, cultivating the next generation of collectors, and improving the visitor experience through enhanced exhibition design and an expanded events programme. Shanks says the ambition is to make the fair more engaging than ever, while preserving the warm, approachable and characterful atmosphere the fair is known for. The fair has also been scheduled to coincide with one of the busiest months in London's art calendar, when collectors arrive for the major auctions, and for the first time LAPADA will formally partner with the annual Asian Art in London programme. That partnership is intended to strengthen ties with the international community of collectors, dealers, museums and institutions that gathers in the capital to celebrate Asian art. Last year's fair pointed the way: new dealers including Koopman Rare Art, Gladwell and Patterson and Tomasso joined, new museum buyers made significant acquisitions, and an unprecedented ten works priced over 3 million pounds were offered, among them a 1930s tiara once owned by Nancy Astor.
