‘So This is Christmas’ – Craft Fair in aid of St Barnabas House, Worthing Charmandean, Sunday 5th December

We’re pleased to announce we will be returning with our first in person event since 2019 on Sunday 5th December 2021 at Worthing Charmandean. This fair is held in aid of St Barnabas House and we’re so pleased to be able to continue our fundraising efforts for them.

This venue is a large venue with plenty of spacing and high ceilings to allow for lots of air flow. We’ll be monitoring the crowd levels and the layout will be more spaced out than previous years. There is also a cafe/bar, plus special guests including Sussex Ghostbusters. Worthing Town Crier will open the event.

The Fairy Tale Fair – A look back at a very different year – 2020.

Last year was our first year in 8 years that we didn’t hold any in person events. Although this was a very sad decision the safety of our stall holders and visitors has to be a priority and with a proportion of these and our helpers falling into the vulnerable category we feel we couldn’t hold the fairs without them. Additionally with local sponsors not in a position to support us during this time and us not being able to have face painting, singers and many of our magical extras we decided not to hold any markets.

However, we didn’t let that stop us – we held 8 online fairs with thousands of visitors at each, had 10,000 Christmas brochures delivered and shared online and expanded our online Creatives Directory to bigger than ever before. We plan to return with an online fair in Spring 2021 and then possibly in person for Christmas 2021. We appreciate your support more than ever. See some throwback photos from 2019 on the left.
