It’s not hard to see why Buy Art Fair has become such a calendar staple for northern art fiends. Now recognised as one of the UK’s most important, it offers something for everyone - aficionados and amateurs alike - not to mention every budget. Whether you’re seeking an inexpensive print or an original canvas, you’ll find options aplenty. There are 3000 artworks after all...

The news, the views and all the pictures, all in one place

But, even more than buying and browsing, Buy Art Fair now also boasts a jam-packed programme of workshops, discussions and guided tours. Visitors can indulge their inner da Vinci with Brian Raymond’s drawing classes, enjoy an exclusive glimpse into the world of Private White .C. and sample delicious food and drink courtesy of Bangers & Bacon’s brand new BEASTro concept.


With all this going on - plus half price tickets available here - you’d be mad to miss it. Make sure to tag your pictures @BuyArtFair and star in our live blog.
