Are There Any Craft Fairs in Scotland for a Woodworker?
Hello,
I am new to this 'forum' concept of communication, so please forgive me if I have made, or make, a faux pas. I am a woodworker in Falkirk and am basically looking to sell my woodwork at Craft Fairs but am finding it very difficult to find any in Central Scotland. I have applied to a couple of Fairs in Dumfries and Galloway but have been unable to find any more, especially nearer home. I would be happy to travel to the likes of Perth and Kinross and perhaps further if necessary. Is there anyone out there who could advise please? I would be most grateful.
Thank you
David

Hi David,
The forum is for posting discussions, requests for advice on any topic you want relating to scottish craft, or even just general business issues, so you've come to the right place!
It just so happens there is an annual Wood Market held where I live in Peebles, this is part of the Tweed Valley Forest Festival. This may be of interest and is generally a popular local event. Have a look at their website here.
Hope this helps.

Hi David!
Have you tried Tryst Craft fairs? They are based at Larbert, close to Falkirk. Also, Forth Valley college puts on craft fairs. You can look at the college web site to see if there are any coming up.
There's also regular craft fairs at Dunblane Cathedral Halls. I haven't been to this one yet, but we have one booked.
Scottish Produce Fairs hold craft fairs in Dunfermline & a bit further afield are Lothian Events.
Hope this is of some help!
Good luck!

Thank you for your response Karen. You have given me a number of areas to look into and I will certainly do that straight away. Hopefully I will be able to procure a table at most, if not all, of them.
Regards
David
