    Hi all.
    I think it'd be a great idea if we could all share info on upcoming/regular CRAFT FAIRS that are taking place around the country.
    What do you think folks??
    CAN MODS PLEASE CONFIRM THIS WOULD BE WITHIN THE RULES...
    Thanks in advance!!

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
    From looking through that thread, it seems a lot of folk are advertising courses etc more so than FAIRS.
    Would it be an option, considering the time of year etc, to leave this thread up for a few weeks and see if theres any uptake on activity?
    No worries if not/its deemed a duplication.
    Regards! LL

    Tried it in the past and people continued to post a new thread for each fair, which we move to the sticky. Don't really see the point in having separate threads for each type of event - but will by all means leave this open to see 😊However, will be continuing to Mod the forum as normal and not creating a new sticky!

    Hi again everybody!
    I'm thinking now would be a good time to bump up this thread in time for the busy Craft Fair Season ahead.
    Please feel free to post any fair you may know of thats happening anywhere in the country.
    Looking forward to hearing about all the events happening in your area!
    I'll be back presently with some more info...

    The Knitting and Stitching Show in the RDS is great. It's on I think Thursday to Sunday over Halloween Weekend. Amazing for yarn and sewing supplies but also loads of crafty things and workshops etc. Look it up :)

    The King's Hall in Belfast now do something similar every November, but quite a bit smaller than RDS show. (They've had an April show for several years.)
