Each year, a careful selection process and criteria is carried out to award pitches to crafts people for the event.

The first rule of the selection process is that your goods must be hand crafted. Some of the other considerations include; your business locality or residence locality, quality of goods, type of goods and how well your goods or type of goods sell historically at The Craft Fair (based on your previous donations or craft type historical donations).

The amount of applications for pitches usually greatly exceed the stalls available, receiving and processing nearly 200 applications for just over 100 pitches.

The selection panel sets out to award stalls to crafters offering quality handcrafted individual goods within each category.

The Craft Fair is a community fundraiser run by volunteers. 

There is a registration fee which goes towards the overall event insurance and other related set up costs. This year we plan to add Crafters only event internet connection for contactless payments. 

There is no pitch charge, but stallholders make a donation. A guide is 10% of their day’s takings.  The majority of stallholders are generous with their donations, which are usually more than 10% of their day’s takings.  All donations are recorded and taken into consideration for any future applications from the stallholder. – please remember, all our hard work for this event is primarily for FUNDRAISING which goes back into the community to good causes!
