2-for-1 tickets to The Affordable Art Fairs, London

The unmissable Affordable Art Fair pitches up once again in Battersea Park and for the first time in Hampstead this autumn bringing stunning collections from both household names and rising stars along with educational workshops and areas to chill out and soak up the creative atmosphere.

Two-for-one entry at either fair upon presentation of this page at the door (normal price £12-£15).

A firm favourite in the art-lovers' calendar, the fair will showcase a varied array of paintings, sculpture, photography and original prints priced between £40 and £4,000 from over 110 galleries.

In addition to exhibiting work from more established names, AAF is renowned for showcasing undiscovered talent and giving stars of the future a chance to shine. This year, 24 artists will be featured as part of the Recent Graduates Exhibition, which brings together the cream of the crop from this year's art graduates.

The Affordable Art Fair isn't just about buying art, art lovers can also take part in the many free, fun and informative workshops as part of an extensive education programme for all ages. From printmaking workshops with Artichoke Printmakers to sculpture demonstrations with well-established sculptors Kaleidoscope, visitors have the opportunity to learn about a variety of fun art techniques.

Younger visitors can enjoy art-themed activity packs, and for adults in need of a little light refreshment, the Laithwaites Bar offers a great place to relax with great wines and good company.

The four-day fair kicks off on Thursday 20th October with the Charity Private View on Wednesday 19 October in aid of The Army Arts Society.

Established as one of the leading and most popular art fairs in the UK, the relaxed and informal atmosphere of AAF never fails to draw in the crowds fair after fair. Following AAF Battersea, a brand new Affordable Art Fair is launching on Hampstead Heath on 27-30 October, giving art-loving north Londoners a bite of the cherry too.

Since its 1999 launch, AAF's successful formula has become a global phenomenon, with fairs now in London, Bristol, New York, Amsterdam, Brussels, Sydney, Milan, Singapore and Melbourne.
