Pavilion Hall

Chilford Hall is a privately owned venue and the standard of service and attention to detail reflects the care which its owners, the Alper family, have invested in developing it over the last twenty years.

Both halls are large, well-lit spaces and allow us to bring together some of the most respected exhibitors in the country, including a number of contemporary glass artists.

A floor plan is available on this site and also in the visitor guide distributed at the fair.

The restaurant is situated on a higher level, in the Great Hall. Access to this is marked on the map for disabled visitors and further more detailed information can be viewed from the menu on the left or by clicking here.

At about mid-day there is a live performance of light classical music.

The Great Hall is also where we hold seminars and lectures. Below you can see an image of Eric Knowles, the well-known television personality, giving a short talk on Lalique glass at the February 2007 fair.

Chilford Hall Vineyard is an interesting venue with various artworks and sculptures in both the halls and the grounds. It is also the location of the well-known fine art lithographers, the Curwen Press.

The vineyard is open to the public from March till October.
