Salvo Fair

The first Salvo Fair was held in 1997 in Surrey and until 2014 it was the only architectural salvage fair in the world. The Salvo Fair itself has been acknowledged by many as the best in its field for unique salvage, reclaimed building materials, decorative and garden antiques. Often featuring larger pieces of architectural salvage such as the Baltic Exchange and Westminster Bridge. For many years it was held at Knebworth House, Hertfordshire and then for three years at the private estate of Sir William and Lady McAlpine, Oxfordshire. The last fair held was, SALVO17, which proved to be a great success with over 90 exhibitors and a green living fest, which included zero waste food by Silo and eco and vintage fashion.

Salvo Fest was held in June 2021, combining the best bits of the original Salvo Fair in a virtual and real world event to toast Salvo’s 30th Pearl Anniversary. Rather than digital versus physical, we combined the magic of a Salvo Fair with the ability to gather big architectural salvage and garden pieces with less heavy lifting and a smaller carbon footprint. It opened up the event to a worldwide audience, and enabled exhibitors to host their own pop-ups so that visitors could visit local events.
