Hello


I am thinking of hiring the Scout's Hut on Bellenden Road for a Christmas shopping event, on the 17th of December, suggested hours of between 11am-5pm. I wanted to find out if there would be a large enough interest from local makers or producers to take a table, for which I would charge ?25. In particular looking for a wide range of quality textiles, jewellery, ceramics, papier mache, toys, preserves perhaps, basically anything produced by professional makers who have a range of items geared towards presents, stock-fillers etc.


I would provide you with a table and do all the publicity, but I feel this area is often lacking in Christmas events and it has great customer potential.


Please do give me any feedback and would love to hear from anyone who is interested. I am hoping to fill about 20 tables.

If I can get enough takers I can get the publicity ball rolling and really make it a fun event!

Many thanks

Kate

I'd certainly be interested as a shopper.


Just one thought though - is it maybe a little too close to Christmas. I find I don't want to risk the hand made (by someone else's hand) with so little time to shop if it's all tat. I'm quite sure it wouldn't be, but you get my point. Most of the open studios etc I go to for Christmas presents are quite a bit earlier, leaving me time to hit the high street if I still need to.


Could you do it the weekend before?

Hi Rosie


The 17th is the only day that the Scout's Hut is free as the earlier weekends are booked unfortunately. But felt the lateness of it might work as people often want to buy presents closer to Christmas.


But hope we can tempt you along if I can get enough makers!

    • That's not a bad idea, though I also want to keep the site as simple and user friendly as possibly. It's ultimately about getting a balance between being informative and being a good read. Stars are useful but I'd like people to read the reviews too. 
    • Standard places haven’t got any? Anyone seen any on sale this week? thanks
    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence. 
    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate?
