Have a look at the following 2 sites. I fins they seem to cover most of the main craft fairs.


www.craftsmanonline This allows you to look at this months fairs without subscribing, and you can look at the fairs for the whols year if you subscribe

http://www.craft-fair.co.uk/ This one also seems to be fairly up to date
