Craft Fairs

 

Craft Fairs are held at the award winning Building 21, Elsecar Heritage Centre, Nr. Barnsley South Yorkshire.

 

So convinced are we of having a winning formula, in the superb Elsecar location, we have expanded the type of Fairs we host.

Our first Craft fair was a two day event, held over the weekend of Saturday and Sunday 22nd and 23rd September. This was a great success, well attended by both stallholders and the public. We have now announced a full programme of dates for 2008 based on the popularity of the first fair.
