Eat Sleep Antiques is an exciting online marketplace
brought to you by the team at Love Fairs. Since 2015, we have been introducing
buyers and dealers at our hugely popular and successful antiques and vintage
fairs at Lingfield Park Racecourse, Brighton Racecourse and the Antiques and
Vintage Village at the Kent County Show. As a digital version of our fairs, we
are continuing to introduce buyers to our dealers 365 days a year. Speaking
directly to the dealers and cutting out any middle men, it ensures they can offer
you the best prices whilst maintaining
the personal interaction and customer service of a shop or a fair.
Our dealers are already known to us or have been approved by us, so you can interact with them and buy with confidence.

Absolutely not. Each dealer is fully registered with us and is either known to us from our antique and vintage fairs or have been approved by us.
Yes, we encourage you to do so! It's easy to contact any of our dealers by either sending them a message or giving them a call, by using the buttons on any of the item pages.
Simply contact the dealer by using one of the buttons on the item page and discuss the method of payment and any delivery costs directly with the dealer. They will be delighted to answer any questions you have about the items they have for sale.
Each dealer will have their own payment preference; some will take PayPal payments (you will see a PayPal button on that item page), some will prefer bank transfers or cheques and some will prefer cash on collection (if you decide you wish to collect the item). When buying using the PayPal button, please make sure you have agreed the delivery costs with the dealer first.
Each dealer offers different options in terms of items, whether that is that the item is shipped to you or that you collect the item in person. This information is clearly shown on all item pages in the 'Product Details' box.
Some do and some do not - this can be different for each item. This information is clearly shown on all item pages in the 'Product Details' box.
