Ladies (and any men if you're in here!)
I have just signed up for my daughter's PTA and we will be organising a Christmas Fair near the start of December in Ballyclare. We have room for approx. 20 stalls and I believe the fee is approx. £20. I am due to start mailing out letters to potential stallholders later this week so if anyone wants to send me their contact details I will add you to the mailing list.
Turnout is always very high and the whole fair has a wonderful atmosphere.

Hi

Hi
I posted as a new member a couple of weeks ago and was very disappointed that I did not get any replies apart from one from Lisa to my email address. As I explained before I do handbag parties and wanted to try the craft fairs. I'm not sure if nobody replied as I am not strictly making my own stuff as such and in theory not craft.
In reply to your query I live in the Warrenpoint area and there is a lovely yuletide fair on 5th and 6th December which I have signed up for. It is Warrenpoint park and the atmosphere is incredible -so Christmasy.

Also if you know of anyone would like to host a handbag party ,I'll go anywhere in Ireland. The host gets a free gift and it really is a fun girly night. My email address is [EMAIL="triciadaryaie@hotmail.com"]triciadaryaie@hotmail.com[/EMAIL]

I also signed up for another few craft fairs and am hoping to do a night in conjunction with a local charity.

I also work full time in sales in a different field and cover the whole of Ireland. This is just in my spare time. I love handbags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any replies much much appreciated.
Thanks
Tricia

Hi Tricia

I do handbags too! Always good to have a bit of healthy competition Im booked into a few craft fairs in the run up to christmas. Take a look on my site www.handbagfairy.com (everyone else can too of course). ALl my events are ones that I found on this brilliant thread! Oh except for one in Holywood at christmas. Im not at home now but will post the guys email address when I get back.
Regarding the craft fairs there are some that only accept handmade stuff but quite a few are just keen to provide a variety of things. There arent too many ppl doing bags so so far Ive had a good response. Im sure you will too.
Good luck with your business and if you ever wanna chat or exchange tips just drop me a line.

Im going to look in the next few weeks at some potential venues for a fair of our own. If anyone would like to help or has any suggestions for good places just give me a shout and Ill investigate!

Hi, lots of empty units in Lisburn Square now but I've no idea who the Landlord is or whether it would be worth approaching him for one off daily rental of a unit once a month or something? (May be worth a try - he's getting no rental at all at the moment!!) Will try to find out more...

Hi What about outlet centre in Banbridge, allways draws good crowd and they have some spare units as well.
