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!

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.)
