Hi there

Im pretty new here, found this thread through google and its great!

I found a fair which I think/hope should be good. Not sure if its been mentioned before. Its at whitehead, they are hosting a victorian themed day on Sat 28th Nov. The website where you can download the form can be fond if you type in whitehead-ni into google. (im not allowed to put links apparantly becasue im new) For a big table it is £20 and a little one is £15. If you have your own stall it would be good as there is a lot of street entertainment outside. The pitch (without stall) is £20

I have left a message for the Ballyclare one, I think it would be really good but I can't get a response. Does anyone have the organisers landline?

Thanks

Louise

Hi Louise - welcome to the merry rabble!! I dont have a landline for the organiser of Ballyclare, only a mobile if that might do? Otherwise I just emailed him and he took a couple of days to come back to me. Get the feeling my question re it being covered is being avoided, and therefore presume it is not covered - if it rained this would totally ruin my stock (Im not being a feeble stallholder who only likes warm weather - there is a genuine reason!!) so I think I may have to give it a miss - wish these simple sorts of questions could be answered straight away!

Thanks Irishgirl - looks lovely doesn't it but still not sure how viable on 3 cold Sundays before Christmas!! Do you have any experience of how busy it would be, my concern is that it's a bit remote x

I got an invite for this too - sounded pretty good, and very festive, but again it appears to be outside, so not great for most of us stallholders, unless anyone knows otherwise about it being covered in any way? I know its atmospheric to shop in the crisp winter weather, but it aint too atmospheric standing behind a stall for 4 hours cuddling a cuppa soup!!

Ha Ha ain't dat the truth! They did mention a limited number of 'stall shells' whatever they are but no mention of hire cost!! Will keep you posted...;)
