Chocolate orange cover pattern Raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support
This year we provided a free pattern for visitors in our exhibitor guide. We also sold kits to go with the pattern, with all proceeds going to Macmillan Cancer Support. If you missed out, you can now download the pattern for £1.50, and once again all the funds will go to Macmillan.

The dates for 2019 are Saturday 12th October 10am-5pm and Sunday 13th October 10am-4pm.
You can view our Exhibitors list, with links to more information about each of them where available.
Tickets are £5.00 for an adult for a single day, or £8.00 for the weekend. Children under 16 do not need to pay, but do need to be accompanied by an adult. You'll be provided with a wristband which will allow you to come and go as you need without having to pay again.
You can buy tickets on the day, in cash or using card. We can accept contactless cards. Alternatively, you may want to book online using Paypal. The price is the same, but there will be a priority queue for people who have already paid.
Testimonials
We (Low Lands Legacy Holland) just had a great show. All comments we’ve heard from visitors were very positive. And yes, it was crowded some moments. But if people don’t understand that you can’t forsee everything …… never mind. Some people will never be satisfied! See you next year!

Came for the day yesterday with a party of 11- we were very impressed, it’s our first visit, but we will definitely return. There was a good variety of stalls, all very good quality stuff- really enjoyed talking to them as they were extremely friendly and helpful. I hope that next years show attracts even more sellers.
