HALI Magazine’s 50th anniversary celebrations in central London have been rescheduled to 18–24 October 2027, one week later than originally announced, following a venue issue outside the organisers’ control.
The shift in dates does not change the substance of the event: 2027 marks half a century since HALI was founded, and the anniversary programme will bring together two days of lectures from international speakers, the return of the HALI Fair as a physical event with leading dealers in antique rugs and textiles, and a series of accompanying exhibitions and related events in the city.
Organisers describe the gathering as a chance for collectors, dealers and long-time readers to reconnect across generations around a shared interest in rugs and textiles.
