Craft fairs for 2015, are you running any yourself? (all Etsy members are welcome)

[peblsrock]

Hi. I appreciate that it's early, but from April we are running a series of craft fairs from the Masonic Hall, Seaham. I thought it would be good to find out what other events you may be running, so we can avoid clashes where possible.

This year we are running three different themes, the same BeachCraft theme that we ran last year, for anyone selling items with a beach/nautical/sea theme, even a tentative link is fine. Next we have a new theme for 2015, "Crafty Old Hipster" is for anything vintage, hipster, qwerky. Finally we have some seasonal fairs, which are open to anyone selling anything craft related, supplies, finished goods and possibly resellers of certain items.
The proposed dates are below, but please check with keepcalmevents@gmail.com to confirm the dates nearer the time.

Quite interested in this, I haven't got much on my shop yet but have lots of new things I'm making which I'd like to try out at a craft fair. How much does it cost for a stall and what time is it open from and until?

It has been a while since RavenMaille went on tour... Might be tempted to dust off the suitcase over the summer...

The houghton craft fair tables cost £10 and it runs from 10am-2pm x

They are looking for crafters to run stalls on Saturday the 13th of June at Simonside Community Centre, Newbiggan Hall in Newcastle. If anyone is interested you can contact me via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/katydidkitsch and I can pass your info on or you can e-mail the charity directly at sponsors.helpingpets.northeast@live.com x
