Craft Fairs 2011

TreasureBin

I thought it would be useful to put together a list of craft fairs around the country. Here's all the ones I know about, and maybe other people might like to add to the list?
(I haven't organised any of these but if anyone wants to take a table at them, I'm happy to pass on the various organiser details if you PM me.)


The 2 biggies are Belfast and Dublin. There has been a craft show in the King's Hall Belfast in April for many years but 2 years ago they started holding a show in November as well. This year it's on mid-October and if you want to visit, there's still time to get a discount for advance booking.
The Dublin show (RDS) is usually on Halloween weekend but this year it's mid-November.
If you've never been to either, I recommend the Belfast show because it's smaller (less overwhelming) and they have improved the range of workshops available so it's now worth going.
But if you're a craftaholic, you'll see a much larger number of exhibitors at the RDS show. They also have a programme of workshops and demonstrations.
