A NUMBER of fairs are scheduled for tomorrow, not least of which is the regular antiques and collectables event held in Dublin's Newman House; it starts at 11 a.m. Collectors of old autographs and letters will be interested in this fair, since it is to feature a generous selection of such material, including hand written letters from W.B. Yeats and Bram Stoker, a pair of autographed photographs of Samuel Beckett, a visitor's pass to the House of Commons signed by Charles Stewart Parnell, a Christmas card designed by John Lennon and signed by both himself and Yoko Ono plus autographed photographs of The Beatles, Marlene Dietrich, Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot and Grace Kelly.

Theme will also be the usual range of other items, such as silver, porcelain jewellery and smaller pieces of furniture.

Also tomorrow, an antiques fair will be held in Clontarf Castle Dublin start in at 10 a.m.
