    There are three coin and stamp fairs on in the RDS each year. In February the coin fair is held which is usually two thirds coins and one third stamps. In October the stamp fair is held which is usually two thirds stamps and one third coins. In April there is a one day fair which is much smaller and is about 50/50 coins and stamps.


    There are a few ways to find the actual dates.

    The AnPost website has a News & Events section which will give you info on upcoming fairs and events.

    AnPost also produce a magazine which you can download.

    The Irish Philatelic circle, which currently states on its forthcoming events page that the next fair in Dublin is on 18-20 October in the RDS.

    I am sure there are other sites as well.

    There is also a sticky thread at the top of this section which will keep you informed of all sorts of antique and collectible fairs around the country.
