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

In response to your request for assistance on such an extensive topic, may I recommend our book entitled The Art of Selling Your Craft.

It is aimed at beginners such as yourself and will help you cover all the basic areas you need to consider when just strarting out in craft and ensure the best possible start. You can order directly from our website at www.craftlink.co.uk and pay with a credit or debit card.
