The event will run between 10am and 5pm on Saturday and 10am and 4pm on Sunday.

Attendees will be able to buy a variety of antiques from 19 stallholders who will be visiting Cobram from all around Australia, including from Sydney, Geelong, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Cobram Historical Society president Pat Kerr said the fair was traditionally well-attended with hundreds coming each year to browse and buy.

“The fair is recognised as one of the best in country Victoria,” Ms Kerr said.

Items on sale will include Georgian and Australian furniture, English porcelain (including Royal Dalton, Shelley), silver platters, glassware, linen (tablecloths and serviettes), gold and silver jewellery, trinkets, antique fishing equipment and figurines.

Artisanal food will be available for purchase, including magnificent cakes and homemade sausage rolls and gourmet sandwiches, all made by the Cobram Historical Society.

Ms Kerr is hoping a two-year hiatus will mean the show is well-attended with people eager for a return to normality.

“It is a fun community event and a great opportunity for people to get their Christmas shopping started earlier and find something unique and heartfelt for their loved ones,” Ms Kerr said.
