Bristol fair

We had our fair at Paintworks on Easter Saturday ... a reasonable number came through the door but weather did not help .... A big thank you to all our stall holders again for the great displays and stock shown .... it looked really good and most people had a good day .I think our first attempts at providing cake and drinks went very well so we will continue with the addition of simple sandwiches next time as well . I will be posting some photos of the fair soon so watch this space.....Next fair 10th may . please get your confirmed bookings for stalls to me if you have not already done so ....Thank you

.Bath Fair..

Every day I am having enquiries about the next Bath Fair .... this to any stall holders who know they want to rebook and have not told me or said they would ring just e mail me . Its looking very full even at this stage of the year with a good 6 months to go .....I have already taken bookings from new people who obviously have been told how good it was.

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
