Craft Fairs for the Crafter
August Date has changed!
Owing to renovations at the Town Hall we cannot use the main hall, but we will be in the lower hall instead on August 23rd not August 14th.
Chippie, as it's known by local people, is a thriving market town. It's an attractive and wealthy area, so perfect for our needs! We love this town. Every year our fairs are met with interest and enthusiasm. I lost count of the number of times I was asked when we would be returning. There's such a great atmosphere at Chippie too! When we booked the dates for 2010 we requested the same Saturdays as the Farmer's Market, however our usual third Saturday of every month has been given to another hirer. We are hoping to get some dates nearer Christmas. If do manage to secure late bookings I will let you know as soon as I can and any further dates will be on the 'News' page too.
The Methodist Church: Alternative Venue
The Methodist Church is just down the street from the Town Hall. It isn't as big but it's still a popular venue with regular events being well attended. Most events that have been booked for 2010 in the Town Hall have transferred to the Methodist Church as this is the only other sizeable venue in the High Street. Times remain the same as for the Town Hall.
The Town Hall
This is a wonderful Georgian building, right in the centre of the main shopping area and the high end shops. The Hall is very smart, with all amenities and full disabled access. We can get access to the hall from 8.30am. We open to the public at 10am and close at around 4.30pm, although we try to be flexible to catch the customers.
Each space costs £45.00. We were reluctant to increase the costs for 2010 but the hall hire has increased quite steeply in two years. As this is a larger venue, you may book one or two tables. As with all venues, we will aim to get a good balance of crafts. Please email before booking to check if we still have a space for your particular craft.
Tables & Electricity
Tables are supplied included the cost. They are standard trestle size, 6ft by 2ft. Chairs are also supplied, two to a table, but there are plenty of spare chairs. Electricity can be supplied also included in the cost, and sockets are well placed and plentiful. Please bring long gang leads & extension leads if you require electricity.
Parking is FREE!
There are two long stay car parks; a long stay car park in New Street, and another in Albion Street, both about 5 minutes walk away. There are short stay parking places adjacent to the town hall which we can use for unloading/loading. Both New St & Albion St are marked on the map in the info pack and both are FREE at the time of printing.
