Craft Fair Basics

[UisceCloch (Dave)]

Hi All

Does anyone have a stall at a local fair/market and if so what has been your experience? I’m new to all this craft stuff. I’m looking to get to grips with the very basics such as…do you make your own stall structure?, is a van a must, typically what are the fees and cost associated, other considerations I haven’t even thought of etc.

Any info greatly appreciated and thank you in advance!

Kind regards

Dave

Hi Dave - I haven’t been around for a few days but just passing by and noticed this isn’t answered. There’s loads of info about craft fairs on the blog - http://blog.folksy.com. Have a read through that and there’ll be tons of info there for you. Hope that’s helpful!

I use SumUp with an old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet and give an email or mobile number receipt - some people don’t want one at all. I find that I use it at every outing now but I still take £30 float as £20 notes seem to be ones always offered. The only thing I would add is to put prices on everything on your table - some people don’t want to ask and they just walk on.
