Record Fair: Your Vinyl Collecting Adventure Awaits

If you’re planning your summer Sundays and are looking for a serious vinyl haul, the next Record Fair: Your Vinyl Collecting Adventure Awaits is scheduled for Sunday, June 7, 2026, right in the heart of the North Laine at Komedia Brighton (44-47 Gardner Street, BN1 1UN). This is one of the regular record fairs that takes over the venue throughout the year, and it’s specifically designed for crate diggers and music lovers. The main draw is the chance to browse thousands of vinyl bargains and collector’s items, offering a great opportunity to track down that elusive album or just discover new sounds you didn't know you needed.

The best part for anyone just wanting to check it out is that entry is completely free. The fair generally opens its doors at 10:00 AM. If you’re planning your day, note that the closing time varies slightly; some sources list the end time as 4:00 PM, while others suggest 3:30 PM, so it’s wise to aim for the morning or early afternoon. These events bring together a solid lineup of specialist sellers, independent record shops, and labels. In the past, attendees have seen vendors like The Record Album, Geoff Finch, Capsule Records, and local labels such as Jalapeno and Tru Thoughts participating. This mix ensures a wide variety of genres and price points. They sometimes even feature DJs or live broadcasts, like those previously done with Slack City Radio, which helps set a good atmosphere while you’re searching through the stacks.

For those who can’t make the June date, the fair is a recurring fixture in the city’s calendar for 2026. Other confirmed Sundays include February 1st, April 5th, August 2nd, October 4th, and December 6th.
