The Hull Record Fair

The Hull Record Fair is back on Saturday 28 November, this time at Social on Humber Street. It's now in its 15th year, making it one of the longest-running record fairs in the UK, and it's moved to a new home: Social, which is run by Wrecking Ball Music and Books.

The format is what you'd expect from a proper fair. Dealers come in from across the country, bringing together new and used vinyl records, CDs, tapes and more. Because it's a mix of sellers rather than a single shop, you'll find a real range of things on the tables—new releases sitting alongside used bins, and vinyl sharing space with CDs and cassettes. It's the kind of place where you can spend an hour digging through crates and come away with a few things you weren't even looking for.

It's open to all ages, so it's as much for the serious collector as it is for someone just starting to build a library. Entry is free, which means you can just pop in for a quick look or settle in for the whole morning without worrying about a ticket. It runs from 10am to 3pm, so you've got a good window to get there early and have first pick of the crates before the crowds build up. If you're heading down to Humber Street, it's a straightforward one to work around your day.
