brewing up

not a cup of tea mind you, more the brew of a craft fair!

Take yourself back to my blog here, and you will feel my excitement and joy at what a craft fair should be, now picture that in this building,

That building is Winchester Guildhall, and on Sunday 5 July it will become the third place to host a Handm@de Fair! And I’m organising it!!!

Doing Oxford was so good, and not being able to do the one in Cambridge is such a bummer, that I decided that I had to take the bulls by the horns and make it happen for me, near to me.
Winchester was the obvious location, wonderful buildings, free Sunday parking, a local population that is diverse, and lots and lots of tourists : )

Also that day, Sunday 5 July, for your diaries of course, ties in with the last day of the Winchester Hat Fair, the biggest theatre street fair in Great Britain!

So you will be hearing a lot more about this, so I will try to keep it interesting, I’m very excited, and I need to maintain that!!

If you would like more info, go to here, and if you know you already want a table, please e-mail handmadefairs@raspberry.co.uk.

Hopefully tomorrow some sewing stuff, because that really has been lacking recently!

    That is just fantastic. I admire your courage. But with your expereince of both good and bad craft fairs I’m sure you’ll succeed in making it an amazing event. Look forward to reading more about it. Julia

    If it’s anything near as fab as the one in Oxford, you’ll be laughing. So glad you’ve decided to go for it.
