The Handmade Fair - for visitors

With hundreds of stands, activities and food, there’s a lot to cover, so people arrive early. I managed to join the early birds to a front seat of the opening of the fair on the last day. Each morning Kirstie comes flying along in a golf buggy ready to greet the first visitors and open the fair by cutting the ribbon, it’s really quite a nice thing.

The Fair is sort of like a craft festival, there’s so much happening from demo’s to workshops and course the shopping. The workshops are definitely a key selling point however  a common feeling was that just there just isn’t enough time to do everything. Who knows maybe they’ll add another day or extend the days, but for now it seems you’ll need to plan your day wisely if you’re to see and do everything you’ve planned.

So we begin... just a few images to give you a taste of what to expect from the fair and the makers.

You’ll need this...

One of the main food halls - setting up. This is probably the only time it looked like this; it gets busy.

Craft tents...

Pop up craft vans.

A few makers I liked.
