Hi everyone, so pleased to have discovered your forum! It's great!

I work with my Mum creating textile crafts and are trying to make a go of things at least part time!

Does anyone know of any craft fairs before xmas in the South Lincs area? Would also consider Notts, Leics, Cambs? Hope someone can help! Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Hi Helen

Your near me! Grantham Arts Centre is holding a Christmas Market on 30th November. Events around here seem to be thin on the ground.

Hi Helen - glad you have found the forum and welcome. Hope the info I e-mailed was of use. Look forward to meeting up again and hopefully a busier craft fair than the last one we did together nearly two years ago!!!!!

Thanks for that!

Clare - are you near Boston? If so, I used to drive by your place every now and then to glimpse the alpacas - so beautiful and charming!

Hi Helen

No, I'm not very far from Grantham.

Just to refresh this, I've gathered quite a few contacts re fairs around South Lincs and area. If anyone wants any info please email me myrtledesign@hotmail.co.uk! Some still need people I think.

Ooh, great thread, this is just what I wanted to know too!
Hello everyone, I'm new...

I just did my first little craft fair in Bottesford today, but it was more raffles and brick-a-brack than crafts, so I didn't sell much, although it was a nice afternoon! So I'm trying to find actual craft fairs in my area (Grantham) and wider. The one in the arts centre sounds great! Will find out about it...

Hi Gilly

I had a stall at Bottesford today as well. It did have rather alot of bric-a-brac type stalls this year & they seemed very busy. Took just under what I did last year so that's ok. I had a quick look round & saw your stall, very pretty jewellery & so different. Craft fairs in our area are few and far between, if I hear of any I'll let you know, welcome to the forum
