The fair in its ninth year is organised by the Special Events Panel of the Women's Committee to raise much needed funds for the upkeep of Lindesay.

Lindesay is one of 38 properties owned or managed by the National Trust of Australia (NSW). It is one of the few remaining harbourside villas of early Sydney. Built in 1834 by the Colonial Treasurer, it was the first house on Darling Point and the first in NSW to be designed in the picturesque Gothic manner. Walter Pye gifted Lindesay to the National Trust in 1963 and since then it has been painstakingly restored to its early Victorian glory, housing an important collection of European and early colonial furniture.

With over 70 stall holders from New South Wales and interstate, the 2010 event will be staged in various rooms throughout the house and in a marquee erected on the lawn overlooking Sydney Harbour. The traditional courtyard cafe allows you time to relax over lunch or a homemade morning or afternoon tea.

With so many stalls and exhibitors there is something for everyone and every budget.
