Quend Vinyl Fair

A fair dedicated to sound and sleeve

In a market saturated with generalist events, Quend's Vinyl Fair cultivates its uniqueness: no crockery or small furniture here, only music in all its physical forms. Original 33s, rare 45s, audiophile reissues, second-hand CDs, music DVDs and scores.

An audience of enthusiasts

Customers match the exhibitors: mostly connoisseurs looking for a specific sleeve, a rare edition, a Japanese or German pressing. Rock, jazz, French chanson, classical, electronic, soul, funk fans all meet here.

Quend, pearl of the Bay of Somme

Quend is a coastal town just a few kilometres from the Bay of Somme. Split between Quend-Ville and the Quend-Plage-les-Pins resort, it is known for its pine forests, dunes and marshes. The fair is held in a comfortable municipal hall, heated and welcoming.

A full day of hunting and exploring

The fair runs from 9 am to 6 pm, allowing visitors to combine music hunting with a walk on the beach or a visit to the Marquenterre nature reserve nearby. The modest €2 entry (free under 16) encourages younger audiences.

A key event for the Picardy vinyl scene

In the vinyl revival seen in recent years, such regional fairs play an essential role: keeping a community alive and introducing younger enthusiasts to the analogue world.
