Sorry you've been having a tough time. My first fair is Banbridge on Sat. Bit nervous but have a friend coming for company. Would be good to meet you. What do you sell ?

Hi again everyone, reference the craft fair in Cookstown on 5th Dec. Are any of you crafty people into woodturning, tiffiny glass, or Christmas Decorations. We are trying to have each stall with a different craft...its hard enough to get a sale these days without having to compete with numerous stalls selling the same stuff!! Also this is a new venue but we are going to try to get it up and running quarterly with the price being £15.
Please email me if anyone is interested ...valeriecrooks@btinternet.com

jeoff tulip does woodturning etc erm im sure if you google him and (Clough) he will pop up.

can i please have some info on the event as i sell bath bombs soaps etc

The Diwali event at City Hall was a bit of a mixed bag. Lots of people but as usual badly advertised and loads of food stalls outside but no signs to let people know there were craft stalls inside in the foyer! Only about 10 stalls and lovely setting. Was doing ok until the shoplifters arrived. I've just added some Pandora - style beads to my stock and had displayed around 30 of them threaded on a silver chain. Some scumbag lifted the whole chain beads and all - around £70 worth of stock in one go!! I felt completely sick but at that time it was really crowded and there were around 6 people around my stall - someone was talking to me about tiaras and I was distracted for what could have only been a matter of seconds. I noticed a security camera directly above me so called security and asked if they could look at the tapes. Surprise surprise I was told that camera only recorded when the council members were there and it was not used for the general public. They obviously feel the councillors are more dodgy than joe public!! Will have to put it down to experience but left a really bad taste

Hello crafters!

I'm a newbie here . I'm in the process starting up a home baking business specialising in cupcakes and hoping to get along to a few craft fairs. This thread is a wee gem!

I added my name to the Belmont monthly fair crafter database but haven't heard back. Does anyone know when I should expect to find out if I've made the cut for the Dec one?

I've found it quite difficult to find very many fairs in and around Belfast. Any info would be great.

Thank-you!

Hi & welcome. I am doing the 7th Nov Fair in Bemont tower and was told they would decide from that event who would attend the Dec Fair. I was then told they would decide Nov sometine. Not many fairs in around Belfast mostly in and around Belfast. Look back through the forum & you will see dates and events other crafters have added. Good luck
