New venues

2011-11-28T11:08:00.001-08:00

Off to visit Barnsley Metrodome tomorrow to see if they're worthy of our custom for Craft Fairs. I will be brutally objective and consider the best interests of stallholders above all else - as usual.

More space available at Worksop venue!

2011-11-26T06:19:00.000-08:00

If we have 90 tables at the Deaf School (we had 93 this year) we will have room for 136 at Worksop! And this still leaves us room for a considerable space for demonstrations. I'm getting excited already!

Saturday 17th March (day before Mothers Day)
Saturday 9th June (weekend after the Jubilee)

There are some Dome dates close to two of these but it is planned to change those to Gift Fairs unless asked to keep them as Craft Fairs by popular demand. Please email your thoughts on this.

Trestle Tables for Craft Events

2011-11-25T22:26:00.000-08:00

The Deaf School event proved very popular and we've just booked more dates for 2012. However, they only have a limited supply of trestle tables (40) and some of those proved to be a bit rickety. We therefore suggest that if you're booking this venue you provide your own table. We bought a couple of folding tables from Ebay and they're not too heavy but very robust and at a reasonable price. It would be a good investment especially if you plan to do any outdoor events. I believe a similar table is also available from The Range but a bit more expensive.

Banners

2011-11-25T22:18:00.001-08:00

Some of you have mentioned how much you like our banner stands and banners and want to know where to source one for yourself. We use The Banner Hub as they’re very good quality, reasonable price and fast. http://www.thebannerhub.co.uk/

Thanks from David

Dear Candice,

I would just like to express my thanks for all you did in arranging the Victorian Christmas Craft Fayre last Saturday. It was an excellent day and so many people both stall holders and visitors said how much they had enjoyed it. I know much hard work goes into organising this event and for this I am deeply grateful.

With many thanks and very best wishes,

Canon David Bliss
Rotherham Minster

Just a little note from me to say thank you for what for us was a wonderful day thoroughly enjoyed by all the people I have spoken to. Hope it was good for you and all your associates. I will contact you early in the new year and in the meantime have a great Christmas.
