Craft fair

[jo77]

Would anyone be interested if I was to organise a craft fair locally? It would be for handmade items only, maybe with some music going on as well. I used to organise this kind of thing before I moved to london, and east dulwich seems like the perfect place to try it again. There is a huge revival going on of handmade crafts.... So I was wondering who would be up for it, either as a seller or who would want to visit something like that? Also venue ideas would be great! Thanks!

I would visit it,always good to see other peoples innovations and talent.

I'd absolutely love something like this. However, I'd really hope the prices were reasonable and not over priced just because of the area

[Pickle]

Yes, I would be interested as a stallholder.

[jo77]

Great! I would make sure prices were reasonable, don't worry! I'm thinking more along the lines of quirky-handmade-vintage-recycled-craftiness!

jo77, pubs in ED are all very supportive of local events - I have a food tasting business and have held charity events at the Mag and Hoopers Bar, and have seen many more market-style events advertised! I'm sure if you ask around you'll have no trouble finding a venue. Upstairs at the EDT has always appealed to me, I just haven't got around to organising something there yet ;-)

If you want to include the idea of DIY crafts, The Scarlet Peacock runs some great classes locally.

Good luck!

I would be up for having a stall .. there's loads of up-cycling vintage crafty people in E D also tons of musicians/DJs' and the like ... go for it! Summertime on Goose green? or the constitutional hall on East Dulwich Grove is a great indoor space much under used ,there's even a stage there .

[kittywoo]

I'm interested!

[PN33]

I'm also interested!

If you need a lively band then have a look at us we do all sorts of events and we can discuss terms as there is always something that can be done if it is a community event, after all we are a community project!!Just google Endurance Steel Orchestra we would be perfect for a summers day outdoor fair!

Good luck with your idea.

Big fair, including arts and crafts,and morrismen.on Goose green soon.

[Sue]

I'd be interested as a customer (provided prices reasonable!)

Also if you think the kind of music The Goose Is Out! promotes would be suitable, let me know. It would be free, obviously.

[jo77]

Hi everyone, sorry I have been away. Really excited to see lots of interest, from sellers and bands!

I'm definitely doing this, will check out venues. Suggestions welcome! Tables will be reasonably priced, profits will go to charity.

Thanks for the tip about the goose green fair, went last year and it was fab!

My husband and I would be interested in going. Many years ago they used to hold something a bit like that in Dulwich park as part of the dulwich festival, unfortunatly they no long do that.

[jills]

Would definitely attend - looking forward to more details!

[kittywoo]

I'm interested in selling my craft items - do let me know!

[Sue]

Sorry did my link wrong, have corrected it now :-$

[Nero]

I would attend and possibly buy. Why not search our Skip Sisters, all of whom live and work in SE22, to see whether they are interested.

[jo77]

Thanks everyone, this is getting exciting! I am exploring venues so will keep you all posted. It will be for charity to raise money for children affected by domestic violence (I do this as a day job and currently one third of all services are having to close due to cuts).

Thanks for the offers of music, that will be fantastic!
