There don't seem to be as many craft fairs in the South sadly.

I don't know of any in Cornwall but envy you living there. If I ever get the chance i would love to re-locate.

It's not a craft fair, but The House of Bartlett in St Ives rents shelf space on a monthly basis and you can display and sell your crafts through them. I know a couple of people who sell through them and do quite well. Might be worth a look?

Hiya

I know that there's fairly regualr craft fairs in Truro (i think that they're for cornwall crafts only, can't remember who runs them though, but i know i came across them on the internet!) Tinker Tailor events hold fairs around Devon and theres a monthly craft fair in Exmouth (just google exmouth craft fair) and another monthly one in Torquay. Appletree crafts (jules!) have some fairs around devon/somerset.

Hope that helps a bit, i do struggle to find fairs round the Devon Cornwall area, and usually end up travelling atleast an hour

thanks for your replys

i will check them all out, especially house of bartlett, that sounds good.

there is obviously a hole in the market down here! maybe i should have a change of career as set up markets for others instead!

just wanted to post a follow up

i contacted "the house of bartlett" . they no longer rent shelves, but she did take a look at my work and has agreeed to display almost all of it in her shop.
She does charge 40% commission, but as this is added to the price i was asking for.
so sounds like a win-win situation,
and thanks for the tip.

Bude Craft Fair (I Wish!)

Hey, I'm on the hunt for Cornish craft fairs at the moment. I'm based in Bude so if anyone knows of any nearby I'd love to hear about it.

I wouldn't need craft fairs if I lived in Cornwall, the beautiful views would be enough <BIG sigh> but that doesn't help you does it, lol! Hope you find something suitable!

I've heard that there are more artists/craftsworkers per square mile in Cornwall than anywhere else in the world. We're a crafty lot!

Craft Fayres in Cornwall

I am respoding to the question about craft fayres in Cornwall. They have just started running a craft fayre at the 'Hall for Cornwall' on the first Friday of every month. You just have to phone the 'Hall for Cornwall' booking office and book a table. The cost is £10.90 per table. There are sockets for lights etc: and there is a nice little buzz around the place. I did my first one last Friday and really enjoyed it so I would suggest that it's quite a good place to sell your wares.

Only just found this. Are you still doing this and is it worth it? Something I would definitely be interested in especially as I am only a few miles away in Helston water.

There are lots of craft fairs listed on the
Cornwall Arts and Crafts Directory (CACD)

mod edit

mod edit list loads of local events and fairs all over the UK. Plus they allow you to market your stuff on there too which means fairs can contact you when they are looking for stalls and its not expensive - one off fee (from memory it's about £25 for the year) - a friend of mine uses her stall as her website as its much cheaper to run and looks more professional.

Please read the rules regarding the posting of url's ... THANKS!
