Northern Ireland Football Programme and Memorabilia Fair returns after three-year break

The Northern Ireland Football Programme and Memorabilia Fair returns this weekend following a three-year hiatus.

The 2022 running of the event will take place in the Pat Jennings Lounge at Windsor Park on Sunday, October 2 (11am-4pm).

In addition to all the programmes on sale, there will be a wide range of football collectables on display. These include books, badges, autographed items, shirts and other football related memorabilia.

With the last Fair having been held back in 2019 there will be the opportunity to obtain all the big match final programmes since then – FA Cup, Scottish Cup, Irish Cup also Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League.

Programmes for Northern Ireland internationals will also be available.

The first programme fair was held in Maysfield Leisure Centre in 1983 and these were held annually until Covid prevented organisers from holding their 2020 and 2021 events.

"It’s good to be back and following the success of our previous fairs it is hoped that the 2022 Fair will prove to be even more popular," said organiser Lester Wood.

"The Fair, as in previous years is being organised by the Northern Ireland Football Programme Collectors Club. The Club will also present their annual ‘Programme of the Year award to the Club producing the best programme for the seasons 2019:20 and 2021:22."

Admission to the fair will be £2 and everyone is welcome.
