The event is held in the Bert Lillye Lounge at the Kembla Grange Racecourse.

The opening preview night is on this Friday, May 24, from 6.30pm to 9pm.

The preview night allows eager patrons the opportunity to get a first-hand look at and to buy the fine wares and antiques on offer from 20 antique dealers.

The Fair continues on Saturday and Sunday from 10am each day until 5pm and 4pm respectively.

The Rotary Club of Wollongong South has raised and given over $520,000 to worthy charities, individuals in need, local schools, community groups and Rotary projects from the proceeds of the annual fairs.

It's an outstanding achievement made possible by the dedication of our membership over the years.

One of this year's major beneficiaries will be SCARF (Strategic Community Assistance to Refugee Families) who help with the settlement of refugees into the local area.

The Antique Fair is supported by The Inner Wheel Club of Wollongong who provide the catering for the weekend.

Proceeds from the Inner Wheel's fund-raising also go to charity with them being big supporters of the Autism Spectrum South Coast School.

"Support from the local business community has played a major part in enabling Rotary to hold the event and contribute to the many wonderful causes in need of help," current president Giovanni Zappia said.

This year's major sponsor is Piruse Constructions.

Jewellery valuations are available to patrons at a cost of $6 per item.

The Rotary Club of Wollongong South invites all members of the public along to enjoy a weekend of browsing through a multitude of antique items for sale by our dealers.

Entry into the antique fair is $7 for adults and pensioners, $2 for children or $15 per family.

Tickets to the opening night are $14 per person which includes finger food and refreshments.
