Our Crafty Place Christmas Fayre 2026!

It’s nearly that glorious time of year again! We reckon the end of October is just about the right time to start mentioning Christmas!

We had such fun last year that we’d love you to join us for our second Christmas Fayre. Yay!

These days, handmade gifts seem more treasured than ever, and we’ll have plenty for you to choose from, including:

• Knitted and crocheted toys
• Christmas cards in a variety of crafting styles
• Beautiful vintage embroidered gifts
• Fused glass creations, including pictures, tea lights and sun catchers
• Gorgeous silver jewellery
• Sewn items that are both practical and beautiful
• Handmade journals that really have to be seen to be believed
• Sea glass treasures
• Wet and needle-felted gifts
• And much, much more!

Once you’ve had a good look around, you can take the weight off your feet and enjoy a cuppa and a sweet treat. Of course, there’ll be festive favourites too. If you haven’t had a mince pie by 28th November, surely it’s about time! And if you’re feeling tempted, you might just have to take a slice of something delicious home with you as well.

We love a good tombola and this year could it be your lucky day? Will you win the highly sought-after can of baked beans? A bottle of something nice? Or perhaps a crafty treasure? There’s only one way to find out!

So fling a bit of tinsel round your neck and join us as we get into the festive spirit. Catch up with friends, make some new ones, enjoy a browse, a chat and plenty of Christmas cheer.

We can’t wait to welcome you through our purple doors from 10am.
