Just been to a “Christmas Festival” or what is more commonly known as a craft fair. I must say, apart from the food on sale which was delicious, I was a little disappointed with what was on offer. Is it just me or does “craft fair” mean hand-made/locally produced goods to you? Well that’s what I was expecting, not cheap goods imported from China/Vietnam/anywhere outside the UK. Where’s the “craft” in going to a wholesaler and buying imported goods? There were a few stalls selling goods that they’d made themselves, but these were few and far between.

Anyone who knows of a craft/art fair that only sells hand-made/locally produced goods please drop me a line…
