New Bedfordshire craft fairs for 2023
I know that the school summer holidays haven’t even started yet, but September will be here before you know it, and that’s the start of Christmas – right? The big supermarkets used to start their Christmas aisle in September – last year I think it crept into August, so I make no apologies for bringing up Christmas in July!
I’m very excited to share details of 3 Bedfordshire craft fairs which will take place in November and December this year, giving you plenty of time to purchase all of your gifts and Christmas goodies!
Shefford Winter Craft Fair – Sunday 5th November 2023 at Shefford Lower School, 11-3pm
A Christmas Craft Fair in all but name… for those of you who like to get your Christmas shopping done early, this is for you!
It’s our first event at Shefford Lower School and it looks like a lovely hall – I KNOW it’s a lovely hall as I’m an ex-PSA mum and we organized loads of events there!
We will have 25+ diverse stalls and it’s going to be a lovely start to our Christmas season!
Silsoe Christmas Craft Fair – Sunday 19th November 2023 at Silsoe Community Sports Centre, 11-3pm
We’re back for the 2nd time at Silsoe! Our craft fair in March was really well supported, so we’re coming back with lots of Christmas goodies!
Our craft fair spans two rooms, the big sports hall and the smaller studio. The studio is right by the entrance to the centre, so anyone using the gym can pop in on their way past, even if they didn’t plan on visiting!
We will have 40+ varied stalls and we hope you’ll join us for your Christmas shopping.
Shefford Christmas Craft Fair – Saturday 2nd December 2023 at Robert Bloomfield Academy, 10-2pm
This is being run in association with the school PTA – they will have 4 fundraising stalls, plus, if they can muster enough volunteers, a BBQ and refreshments – maybe even some carol singing from the school choir! That leaves us with space for an additional 36 craft stalls, and is the perfect opportunity to finish (or start!) your Christmas shopping and bag some unique, beautiful gifts for your loved ones – and yourself, you deserve it!
Our aim is to have a mix of different stalls at each event, because we would love our visitors to come to all three and find something new and exciting at each one. You can find further information on all of our Bedfordshire craft fairs and our Shefford Garage Sale Trail on our Events Page.
