re insurance and fairs,there's been a few topics recently, oif youda search,youshould find some detailed answers, but basicaly I believe it's yes alround, though it would seem, some fairs/fetes, etc, don't ask/ stipulate you must have insurance, and some do.

Have a searcha roud the site, and you'll soon find the answers.

Whenever to sell goods to the public you will need 'Public and Product Liability Insurance' . Usually this type of policy covers everyting you need

You can get a year's cover for around £50 - £80 for a crafter's policy.
Best quotes usually are from the Market Traders Association,
