What makes Shelton Antique Shows distinct
Self-described as the oldest, continuously same-owner-operated field at Brimfield, founded 1975 as the first satellite field across from Auction Acres. The strongest signal we found is a direct, attributed visitor quote: a blogger who toured four different fields named Shelton their favorite of the four ("but all the fields had some great vendors") — a real, specific endorsement, even from a sample of one. No defined merchandise specialty confirmed beyond that.
Open days
Shelton Antique Shows runs all six days of the show, Tuesday through Sunday.
When to arrive
