NI Craft Fairs 2011

Yep £35.00 - I did it last year in all the bad weather. maybe it was the weather that put people off but sat from 11.00 that morning til 5.00pm that night and didnt even make the cost of table. Hope we do not have the same weather conditions over this winter as last as I think it affected quite a few events.

Didnt mind the £35 as my mum was suffering from breast cancer and had been for 36 years on and off but was a bit deflated at the turnout.

Did that one afew years back and while the turnout wasn't great there were only afew stalls, so we went home happy, but the last few years there have been a huge number of stalls - so same amount spent = less per stall holder. But agree it is a good cause - we support Macmillan and Hospice but prefer to give up my days for them at a less busy time of year!

I agree Smokiewater. Last year was told there would only be 3 of each type of craft and when i got there there was 11 stalls doing jewellery, 6 candle stalls and multiple others.

Would rather put £20 note in envelope and give to Cancer Research uk.

We were at the Traditional and Rare Breeds show at the Ulster Folk and transport museum, there were just afew craft stalls, and we had a great day!

Only saw your posting now though! No reception in the museum!

Thanks for replying Smokiewater. We ended up in Hillmount Garden Centre and I bought some lovely card making bits n pieces whilst hubby pottered about. Then finished of with a large slice of Pavalova - perfect day really.

I make cards as you have gathered but have only done 2 very small local craft fairs (that small that there was only me and one other stall at one of them!!) I haven't attended other fairs to buy or sell and I was interested to see what else was out there and of course be tempted by all the lovely items on offer.

Thanks again.
