UK and Irish citizens, plus those with right of abode, need no visa. Most other nationalities either hold an ETA (visa-exempt) or a Standard Visitor visa.
The UK operates the ATA Carnet scheme (issued via the London Chamber of Commerce) for temporary admission of goods and samples; it is rarely necessary for participants in a one-day collectors fair.
