New and help needed - Northern Ireland

Loopybud

Hi, we are new to doing craft fairs / indoor bootsales, and are looking for opportunities throughout the year to sell our stock. We do mainly jewellery, scarves and purses. We are based in Coleraine, and don't mind where we sell at. I'm hoping someone can point us in the right direction. Many Thanks

You are probably best asking locally, this board covers the whole of the UK and there may not be anyone at all from your immediate area.

There are facebook groups for craft fairs and such like, that might be a place to start.

you might also try the Northern ireland board as well, although all 3 regional boards get little traffic:

You could always try organising your own. Here's Pembroke's short guide to what you need to do

Pick a venue, advertise it to local craft groups and other sellers, work out costs and table prices, look at insurance, see if you need a council licence, organise refreshments, advertise it to visitors, sort out parking and transport.

Then on the big day 'hopefully' make a profit not only on the table price / hall hire but also on your stand as well. If it works do it again, become a regular venue, then do it again somewhere else. :beer:
