As the first Winter Art & Antiques Fair for two years, celebrating the Fair’s 30th Anniversary opened to the public, the early signs were promising. The jewellery dealers had crowds of visitors around their stands waiting to see the stock. Glass dealer Brian Watson was busy selling from shortly after opening until minutes before closing and pronounced a 'real enthusiasm' from customers for the fair. Haynes Fine Art sold a picture within moments of opening. Many of the sales overall went to new customers.

Fair Director Mary Claire Boyd said of the week's business, 'We are thrilled to be back at Olympia with a live event, it is so important for our visitors and exhibitors to be able to see the pieces for real and the reaction from visitors and dealers has been hugely positive. For many exhibitors a good proportion of their business is done only at fairs and helps them to build the relationships with new buyers. In what are still quite uncertain times there were some strong sales especially in jewellery and art.'
