Bath Fair
What a superb fair . A really big thank you to all our stall holders who exhibited a fantastic arrangement of stock . it looked wonderful . Clearly the trade and public that came felt the same as sales were amazing. It was great to see tired but very smiley dealers packing away at the end of the day ,taking home alot less than what they came with . The fair was like the fairs we used to have in the good old days ... a great selection of good early vintage clothing , wonderful 20s dresses , 30s chiffons and super little print dresses . Fantastic textiles , jewellery , bags, accessories lace and trim , mixed with superb quality vintage and designer clothing ...... A treasure house of goodies. It was again great to be wanting to buy so much , that you had choice . no sales rails , no smelly goods , no unironed clothes ..... everything was beautifully pressed and displayed .... Well done all of you ........We look forward to the next fair in Bath on 14th of September . which is 90 % booked up ... shows how good this fair was...... Photos will be on the website very soon ... would welcome some comments from those reading this .... Sallie

Sorry but I have to contradict some of the comments made in this entry. The event was poorly attended, to the extent that by mid afternoon it was basically fizzling out, and the other sellers I spoke too were rather disappointed with their day's sales too, sitting down and gazing longingly at the entry door for an unexpected late rush of customers. I for one enjoyed my day out in Bath and had plenty of time to go for a wander but certainly wouldn't bother to exhibit again. The location is beautiful but not as great as it sounds, as it is away from the main pedestrian walking routes and does not attract many passers by.
I would suggest to the organisers to have a reality check and start thinking about ways they can really maximise the potential of this event, which I agree could be pretty substantial with some better advertising.
I apologise for sounding harsh, but I don't like the way that potential future stallholders are being mis-fed false hope that they will have a great fair, as that outcome is undoubtedly uncertain.
