Creative Herts Christmas Craft Fair at the Galleria
I have at long last secured the location for the Creative Herts Christmas Craft Fair. The Galleria have very kindly offered us the large open space opposite HMV on the first floor, at no charge for Saturday and Sunday 13 & 14 December.
This is a great space as the open area makes us easily seen which will hopefully attract many shoppers and will encourage sales.
There is no charge for a stall but I am hoping that all stall holders will offer a £5 donation to the Galleria's charity or a suitable raffle prize. This is not compulsory but I feel it would be nice if everyone could
oblige.
All donations and any monies raised from the raffle tickets sales will go to the Galleria's nominated charity
'Hearing Dogs for the Deaf'. All members are welcome to join the craft fair
so if you could please email me - p.bryan@herts.ac.uk by no later than Monday 24th November to reserve your space. I will then send further information to you about furniture, times for setting up and taking down etc.
I think this could be a great opportunity for all members to either capture
some sales or even promote their company i.e. You don't have to be selling a physical thing to join in, you could be selling your service or just gaining good PR from joining the event.
I look forward to hearing from you.
