If you were hoping to come and see us at a craft fair this spring but had to cancel your plans due to lockdown, all is not lost! Organisers are starting to find ways to adapt their events to accommodate social distancing regulations and allow exhibitors and visitors to enjoy shows safely and responsibly. For some, this means operating a pre-booking system and for others it has meant moving the event online so that visitors can engage with makers digitally.
Whether you are ready to venture out or would prefer to stay at home, if you are interested in our work and would like to see what we’re up to you can find us at the following events this Autumn:
