The Brimfield shows run three times a year, May, July and September
and are open for a six day period beginning on a Tuesday and ending
on a Sunday. Some operators open all days and others choose to open
for a few days during this period.
Admission: Only a few of the shows charge admission,
which is usually on the first day only. The fee is around $5.00.
Parking: There is plenty of off street parking
available at costs ranging from $5.00 - $12.00. Parking is prohibited
on the roadside and tow trucks do patrol the area, so park with
caution.
Finding Brimfield Dealers: You can search
for registered Brimfield dealers and general categories of antiques
and collectibles
at www.brimfieldexchange.com.
Food: There are plenty of food vendors located
on all of the fields offering a variety of food items. There are
also a few local restaurants in town where you can sit and enjoy
dining.
Restrooms: There are portable toilets set up on
all fields.
Weather: The weather in New England is very unpredictable.
The shows run rain or shine so come prepared.
Cash: The Country Bank has an ATM in Brimfield
which is located on Main Street. There are also several others
located
about 10 miles away, in the towns of Sturbridge, Monson, Palmer
and Warren. Also, several of the field operators have ATMs located
on their property.
Pets: It's not a good idea to bring pets to the
show. Many operators prohibit pets on their fields and it's not
a good idea to keep an animal cooped in a car.
