Craft fairs in London

[smileykate]

Hi there,
does anyone know of any craft fairs in London? I'm new to selling my jewellery and so haven't selling at craft fairs before. I've searched on google etc and the only things I have come up with are the very large, professional looking fairs in central London. I'd like to start a bit smaller! Any info would be great. I live in North London (Enfield).

I live in South east London and have been having exactly the same problem, it does seem to be harder to find the lower steps of the ladder in London. Only suggestions I've come across so far are to try the local papers and radio or even gumtree but haven't got to far with it yet. I guess the smaller fairs are less likely to be advertised on the net.

Hi Ruth,
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one having trouble! I had never thought to look on Gumtree but I found this, which is in North London and looks good craftaholics-london.blogspot dot com (just realised I can't adfd the address in as I havent posted enough). Only £10 for a table!
