What makes Heart-O-The-Mart distinct
17 acres, 400+ exhibitors, and — per trade press — historically home to a couple of named specialty sections: an "E" tent (18th/19th-century antiques and decorative art, ~12 dealers) and a Textile Tent (20+ dealers, vintage textiles and workwear). One visitor account from 2025 found the Textile Tent closed on their particular visit — a reminder that named specialty sections aren't guaranteed open every show. Reportedly named among Brimfield's better shows by at least one major outlet, worth reading as a positive signal rather than a guarantee.
Open days
Heart-O-The-Mart runs Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. It's one of the fields that doesn't run the full week — plan around its actual window rather than assuming it matches the rest of the show.
When to arrive
This field opens mid-morning — neither the earliest nor the latest on the schedule. See the full field-by-field opening-time breakdown to plan a route across multiple fields.
