Origins

 
The NDF was founded by a group of drummers for the purpose of organising and promoting a drum event at which drums, accessories, equipment, and drumming skills/techniques could be displayed, traded and promoted. A committee of interested parties, all unpaid volunteers, was formed and the first NDF was held in September 2002.

Purpose

 

The National Drum Fair is currently an annual event (traditionally held the second weekend of September each year), organised, promoted and managed by drummers for drummers to provide an opportunity for the display, promotion, trading of drums, associated products/items and drumming skills to be available to the drummers and potential drummers of the UK and beyond. It is a non-profit organisation and seeks to be self-funding.
