help with finding fairs

louj101

Hello everyone hope your all having a good day, i'm new to all this so i hope this is ok. I have started to made things i.e. gifts to sale at fairs but not use how to find out where or when they are taking place. It would to a really big help if anyone could help me, i have rang the schools but they just say to ring back in the summer which is ok but i would loike to do one at around easter time. I live near bristington bristol if this helps. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

Have you thought of trying your local Tourist Information Centre? I know our local one used to keep such lists.

Hi,
No idea on fairs, sorry! However, have you been along to Tenderfoot on Wick Road? They sell loads of local peoples crafts, so they may be happy to stock your items (not sure how much commission they would want though).

this is a good website, it has a diary and you can search via date or geographically.

Have a look on any local neighbourhood forums, Just google your local areas name and type forum after and you may find something I am in South East London so have quite a few to choose from, there are always posts on them spring summer and winter, an interesting twist is how many pubs are now starting to hold fairs for crafters, must help them get some trade in I suppose.

Hi - in Bristol too!.

From my experience, there are usually school fayres in May, June or July and another in December. Can you find out when the schools held them last year?

The cheapest way of contacting schools would be by email and ask if it could be forwarded to the PTA with your contact details. Make sure you get in touch with South Gloucestershire, Bath and North East Somerset and North Somerset schools as well as Bristol schools.

Good luck
