Craft Fairs Update

A quick blog just to post some of the Craft Fairs you have told me about that will be taking place this weekend!

Firstly the lovely Appleducks ladies will be showcasing selected crafts makers at a Pop Up Event in Royal Victoria Place, Tunbridge Wells. It runs from Friday to Sunday! See their flyer below.

I had an email from Kent based artist Di Drummond who is taking part in the 'Bakers Dozen' a group exhibition in Alfriston where she will have some pieces on show. The private view is on 23 November  5-9pm. See their flyer below.
She also says that from 2 pm that day the village high street is closed for the annual pre Christmas celebrations. Stalls, mulled wine and trendy shops open till 9pm. Get your Christmas pressies early!
