Every once in a while comes along something that looks exciting.  And I think this does: http://greatbritishcraftbazaar.com/

The Great British Craft Bazaar isn’t just another craft fair.  It’s aiming to offer the very best experience for anyone interested in handmade goods – so, as well as being able to buy gorgeous goodies from UK designer/makers, you’ll also be able to see demonstations of a variety of crafts and buy supplies for crafts too.

craft demonstrations

It’s being held on the last weekend in March (26th and 27th) in the new Culcheth High School building, which is on Warrington Road in Culcheth (WA3 5HH).  It’s a straight road from the East Lancs, and it’s easy to find from both the M6 and M62 too.  For any potential stallholders  who live some distance away, they’ve even negotiated a discount at a local hotel.

I know the organisers are already full for jewellery, but they still have vacancies for lots of other things – including craft supplies.  They’re specifically looking for card making suppliers, art materials suppliers and bead suppliers – and similar!  It’s a juried event, so you need to submit an application to them via their website, but that only serves in keeping the standards high, which can’t be a bad thing!

personalised campervan clock

My personalised campervan clocks are of course available at www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk – but as usual I plan to have some with me at the Great British Craft Bazaar.  I can of course personalise these (and other gifts!) while you wait at fairs.  I’m hoping to be doing some painting there, too! 

Might see you there!
