It's Art Fair season - the time when both established and emerging artists get to showcase their work to gallerists, buyers and art-fanatics alike. Members of the public can wander through the venues, soaking up the art or looking for a piece to buy, and you might even catch sight of your favourite artist in the crowd.
To celebrate the creative buzz that only an Art Fair can bring, we've drawn up a list of some of the unmissable ones across the UK this year. So whether you want to start your own art collection, you're looking for inspiration or you simply want to wander around the stalls and check out the art on offer, make sure you get down to at least one of them in 2015.
