Does anyone know anything about the Green Living Fair in Castle Espie on the 11th & 12th Sept - like how much is it and is it any good???

September seems to be dying a bit of a death for fairs at the minute!

Hi Everyone

I did the fish fest in kilkeel on Monday and it was disastrous. Crowd was good but no-one buying. Might have been better if the organisers had contacted me and told me it was changed to start at 12.00 and not 2.00pm. I arrived at 1.30pm to set up and it was in full swing, other crafters had been there from 11.30pm.

Sorry for the winge!!! just wish when they take a contact number when you are booking it that they would at least let you know if had been changed.

I done Kilkeel. I was told set up was from 11.30am and the public were walking through from about 12pm. They (the public) said to me that they were coming early as they usually couldn't get moving later on!! - I done OK at it, better than a lot of others I have done recently.

Does anybody know anything more about Ballynahinch fair on 13/11/10. I rang leisure centre and they know nothing about it
