The UK’s No.1 Destination for Vinyl Lovers
For over 45 years, VIP Record Fairs have been at the heart of the UK’s music scene — helping fans, collectors and music obsessives discover vinyl, CDs, memorabilia and more.
No other record fair platform has matched us for the sheer volume of records bought, sold, and traded across the decades. Whether you’re a seasoned collector chasing rare pressings or just someone looking to pick up some brilliant music at fair prices, VIP Record Fairs are the place to be.
We run a packed calendar of shows across the UK — from Glasgow to London, Norwich to Wolverhampton — with a huge presence in London and the Midlands. If you love music, you’ll love VIP. From vinyl to CDs, DVDs to books, posters to autographs — there’s something for everyone.
What kind of music will you find?
We pride ourselves on offering the broadest, most exciting mix of genres anywhere in the UK
Rock, Pop, Indie, Punk, Grunge, Soul, Reggae, Dance, Hip Hop, Northern Soul, Jazz, R&B, Doo Wop, Rock & Roll — from the 1960s to today’s freshest releases. Whatever you’re hunting, you’re likely to find it on our tables.
Why VIP record fairs stand out
Unlike random car boot sales or pop-up markets, VIP fairs are held in established, safe, clean, indoor venues, with plenty of parking and clear information online to make your trip easy. You’ll also benefit from the support of our experienced, full-time Leicester-based team who are on hand to help with any queries.
How It works on the day
A VIP Record Fair is the ultimate shortcut to finding great music. We gather together the UK’s leading sellers under one roof — so you don’t need to waste time travelling between shops or browsing endless websites.
Your Entry
When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by our friendly cashier team. Pay your small entry fee and you’ll receive a full VIP diary of upcoming events. After that, it’s time to get stuck in and enjoy hours of browsing.
Crate Digging Made Easy
Dealers are arranged neatly around the venue with clearly priced stock, ready for you to explore. From rare collectors’ items to bargain bin gems, everything is up for grabs. Found something you love? Just pay the seller at their table — remember, each dealer handles their own stock. Most will offer bags for your purchases.
Re-Entry & Payment
Need a break? No problem. You can pop out and come back in as many times as you like — just ask for a re-entry pass. We accept card payments for admission and most dealers also offer card payment facilities for your convenience.
Why Buying at VIP Makes Sense
Buy with confidence
Speak directly to the seller, inspect your records in person, ask questions, negotiate a deal. No nasty surprises when you get home — what you see is what you get.
Avoid delivery costs
Forget inflated shipping fees and long delays. Buying in person means no hidden extras and no waiting around.
See it, touch it, love it
There’s no comparison to handling vinyl in person. Inspect sleeves, check pressings, feel the weight, smell the vinyl (you know you want to).
Peace of mind
VIP traders stand by their products — offering money-back guarantees for total peace of mind.
A great day out
Our fairs aren’t just about shopping — they’re about music culture, community and connection. VIP Record Fairs are a fantastic way to spend a day.
