Hi folks,
This is probably a long shot but has anyone been to the 2 week Craft Fair at Pendle Hippodrome in East Lancs? I’m interested in any experiences, sellers or buyers / browsers.
I applied for this last year but was unsuccessful, this year I’ve been offered a place out of the blue & started to panic. The stalls are manned by their staff (which is positive for me, esp as it’s 2 weeks long)
I’ve no idea how much stock to take. There’s plenty of time for me to make loads of products up but I don’t want to go overboard as I’m very particular about making stock up only as needed so it always reaches customers as fresh as possible

I did this a few years back, it’s very well organised. Sadly I’m not invited back any more as I didn’t sell enough 
Have you been to this fair before Rachel? I’m wondering what the footfall will be like.
Checked my calendar too- its 9 days not 2 weeks
I’m sorry to hear that - especially since your shop is gorgeous. Their point of view aside, were you happy with your sales? I was also wondering if they set your table up - it all looks very uniform on their website but I’ve been given v little info. I hope you don’t mind me asking?
Only been a rushing visitor so can not feed back to you sorry

I wasn’t too pleased with my sales, I think one year I took around £40 and the other was about £25. They had someone else doing coin purses who sold them for £1.50 each!
My stuff just doesn’t sell locally
I think footfall is quite good, I’ve been on a Saturday and there were quite a few people there.
You set the stall up as you wish x

Thanks - that’s really useful. I think I’ll take a modest amount of stock & keep my expectations low
You can’t go wrong with that attitude - best of luck to you.
I had a sale on my Facebook page which made me feel better afterwards
