Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend. Maybe it was just that particular event/location that was wrong but The Style Fair ended up being a bit of a disaster money-wise. No foot fall and a lack of advertising so none of the stalls did well. Ended up crafters buying from other crafters in the end. Was speaking to a girl who travelled all the way from Fermanagh and she wasn't happy to say the least. Well, pot luck as ever!

well the saintfield show was a waste of a lot of peoples time, stuck at the back of the tent that was for ladies entering their home baking etc, away form the main action, we all could not understand it, tthere where people selling plastic toys etc, up where we the crafts should have been, one lady said it took her three attempts to find the craft tent, hardly any one sold any thing, and we where all unhappy, one girl went to get her dad and her self a bite to eat and for an egg fried and in a roll and a roll and two sausages and two cups tea it was £10.00 i was glad of my packed lunch, the traders made no money but the event organizers is bound to have at £25 per table. very disappointing, though Norma the organizer tried her very best it was just a bad place to sell and everyone was in the same boat, i did meet two lovely girls and enjoyed the crac. any one else disappointed at the saintfield show.?
