7th August, 4th September,
6th November, 27th November
and 4th December 2010 9am to 5pm
May 1st, June 5th and October 2nd dates pending.
The Venue
The Brunswick Room, Guildhall, Bath BA1 5AW
It is ideally situated right in the middle of the shops in Bath city centre , and the indoor market is in the same building! On one side there is Bath Cathedral and right outside the High Street and The Corridor shopping arcade We are also surrounded by high end shops.
It is to be expected that Bath city centre will be packed to bursting with tourists and shoppers all year round.
We will be in the Brunswick Room on the ground floor of the Guildhall. This is a bigger, brighter and better situated venue than our last one in a church crypt. We'll be able to have tea/coffee making facilities in the room itself and, if I have time to bake, there will also be free cakes/cookies/muffins etc.
Dates: All 2010 Dates are Saturdays
The following three dates are all still pending approval, but we do now have an April date that we couldn't have before. Any crafters who have booked May in the crypt can now swap to April if they wish. I will let everyone know about these three dates as soon as possible.
May 1st, June 5th October 2nd
Costs
All the tables in the Brunswick cost £45 each and are 6ft by 2ft trestle tables. There are 20 spaces available. If we are fully booked then surrounding space is still very tight, as it was in the Crypt, but not quite as squashed. If we aren't fully booked then we'll all have more space. Electricity can be supplied if needed, please bring long extension leads!
Please email or phone to check availability of spaces before booking!
City Centre Unloading!
This is very important!
As we are right in the centre of Bath, on a Saturday, we have to be extremely careful about unloading. There is a car park behind the Guildhall solely for the purposes of unloading. It's quite small but much easier than unloading on the street. The Guildhall also have trolleys that we can use to ferry stuff along the two corridors leading from the car park to the Brunswick room.
The nearest long stay car park is the one in Charlotte Street about 10 minutes walk away. I believe that Waitrose's car park is a very expensive short stay, so parking there all day will seriously eat into one's profits.
We hope to be at the Guildhall by 8.00 am on all Saturdays.
