The UK National Drum Fair - 13 and 14 September 2003

The 2003 UK National Drum Fair took place at the Red Barn in Hoar Park near Nuneaton in England. The sun shone, the birds sang and drummers from all over the world arrived to buy, sell, examine and talk drums.

Trade was brisk with some of the best deals of the weekend taking place inthe first hour of the show.

Of course, the drums were the stars and a mouth-watering selection of kits and snares was on display.

There were some very special pieces on display including this early Premier snare drum.

The barn was packed on both days and last year's weekend attendance figure was surpassed on the first day.

Plans are already well underway for the 2004 show and larger venue has been booked to accomodate the increasing number of visitors. See you there....
