It seems we are all interested in local craft fairs so here is a thread for chatting about that or advertising a craft fair.

This thread could be really useful, I don't know much about the fairs around Kent - though I've got my eye on Whitefriars in Canterbury, they do it every 2 weeks and is for crafts and food.

There is a great one in St George's Hall in Deal High Street once a month and the ladies that run it are starting up one in Broadstairs which I'm going to be doing in August which as far as I can tell is also monthly. Info is here:

There is an Artisan Market in Canterbury every 4th Saturday especially good at Christmas

There is a past and present fair, (crafts and vintage), every month at St. Marys Hall, Oxford Street in Whitstable.
The next one is Sunday 21st July.

Just wondering if people had any suggestions for good Christmas craft fairs? I've not done any before, but am considering doing one this year. Any suggestions welcome!

...iheartwhitstable has a pretty good turn out...happens once a month in the umbrella centre.

...Whitefriars food and craft market is excellent and a great city centre location...is a market outside though!

...Haven't tried Deal yet but heard it is good

...just going through application for Artisan in Canterbury which happens once a month...again great location in the centre of canterbury

hope this helps :)
