'Pop-up' record fair in Antrim promises everything from classic albums and collectable pressings to hidden gems
The public are being encouraged to rediscover the joy that buying physical music in person brings at a ‘pop up’ record fair being held in Co Antrim on Saturday, March 7.
The Back Shed at the Bridge End Bar on Bridge Street, Antrim is the venue for the event from 12pm to 5pm.
Organised by Allworthy Records in partnership with PRSPR Antrim, the event will bring together a host of independent record sellers offering thousands of vinyl records, CDs and cassettes. From classic albums and collectable pressings to hidden gems across every genre, the fair promises something for seasoned collectors and those simply interested in vinyl culture.
Founder of Allworthy Records, Roddy O’Flaherty, said the aim is to support local traders while encouraging people to rediscover the experience of buying physical music in person.
"Record fairs are about more than just buying and selling,” he said. “They create a local space where people can connect over shared musical tastes and keep music culture alive.”
The record fair forms part of the #PositivelyMADD30 celebrations, marking 30 years since the formation of Musicians of Antrim District Development (MADD).
