Affordable Art Fair Battersea Spring Returns in March with Colour-Drenched Installations and Accessible Art

One of the capital’s first major cultural moments of the year, Affordable Art Fair returns to Battersea Park from 4th - 8th March 2026, unveiling a vibrant spring edition that champions accessibility, discovery, and contemporary creativity. With tickets now on sale, the Battersea Spring fair promises an inspiring mix of colour, conversation, and collectable art, all set against the leafy backdrop of one of London’s most iconic parks.


This year’s fair will bring together more than 100 UK and international galleries, highlighting over 1,000 artworks by living artists. Prices start from just £100, with all works capped at £10,000, making it an ideal entry point for first-time buyers while still offering plenty to excite seasoned collectors. From painting and printmaking to photography and sculpture, the fair is designed to encourage visitors to explore widely and discover new names alongside established talent.


Visitors will be welcomed by a dramatic new installation from Yorkshire-based artistic duo Relton Marine, whose exuberant use of colour and layered acrylic techniques will set the tone from the moment guests arrive. Inside the fair, a spotlight on contemporary women artists will take centre stage in a curated exhibition marking International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, celebrating female voices across generations and styles.


A series of specially curated displays will help guide visitors through the fair, including the popular Director’s Cut, Finds Under £500 and Fresh Perspectives: New Artists at the Fair. Complimentary audio guides will also be available, offering deeper insight into selected works and artists.


Families are well catered for during weekend Family Mornings, with a new art treasure hunt, face-painting and hands-on creative activities in the Kid’s Creative Corner. For those visiting later in the day, Art After Dark Lates on Thursday and Friday evenings will transform the fair into a lively social space, with DJs, creative workshops, and drinks on arrival, making it a perfect option for a relaxed date night or evening out with friends.


With a strong track record of introducing new audiences to collecting and a continued commitment to affordability and inclusion, Affordable Art Fair Battersea Spring 2026 looks set to be a colourful and confidence-boosting start to the art calendar.
