Events

If you're gadding about North Yorkshire and environs, you might just come across a craft fair or other event at which we've got a stall. If so, do come and say hello - whether you want to stock up on bath melts or just want to see who on earth exactly made your soap.

Each entry should tell you where we're going to be and when, along with links to an online map service showing you where the venue is and how you can get there (after all, we don't want you getting lost). Where possible, we've tried to use Google's Street View service, so you know what the venue looks like.

Where we know that an event has an entry fee, we've tried to give details - but please don't assume that because we've not quoted a ticket price that there's definitely no charge for entry.

November 24th - 30th Thursday - Wednesday (Seven Days)
The Guild Hall, York
Part of York's St Nicholas Fair, organised by Made In Yorkshire
Hall open 10.00 - 17.00
The Guild Hall's probably not the easiest place to find (use our directions if you've never been there before) but it's a really beautiful place - almost worth coming just for the building - and there'll be a wide range of arts and crafts to tempt you, all made by the people selling them: from bath products (of course) to lovely silk bags, pottery, paintings, photography and clothing. The St Nicholas Fair is a well-publicised city-wide festival so there's masses and masses of stuff to do and see during this long weekend. The St Nicholas Fair itself is from the Thursday to the Sunday, but we will also be there on the following Monday - Wednesday too, before decamping to our regular haunt of St Sampsons square.
Hint: come on Thursday if you don't like crowds in the city!

And remember - this time we're in the Guild Hall (off Lendel, near the large Betty's Tea Room and the Post Office), not on Sampson's Square!

December 1st - 18th, Thursday - Sunday (EIGHTEEN days!)
St Sampson's Square, York
Christmas Shopping in York, organised by Made In Yorkshire
Marquee open 10.00 - 17.00
Back in St Sampson's Square after our week in the Guild Hall for St Nics, Christmas Shopping is in full swing by now.

Last year, we were battered and bruised by snow and ice from the first day of this show and it didn't seem to stop until January! Surely it's not going to be that cold again? No, of course it won't be.

During December the streets around the marquee are full of ever-changing stalls - food stands selling gorgeous things to eat and drink or the European market selling all sorts of beautful things from other countries, plus all the lights and decorations are up making York look even more beautiful than usual. The Park and Ride is an even better idea than normal at this time of year. As always with a Made in Yorkshire marquee, you'll find a wide range of arts and crafts, all made by the people selling them.

Last year we made many friends at this show who discovered us in the first few days and came back several more times to stock up for Christmas. So do come along and say hello, otherwise we might be just standing around in the cold all on our own. After 25 days in a row in York, we might even have taken root.

At present, this is our last event of the year (although that might change), so if you miss it just order online and save yourself the hassle of shopping altogether: we'll be mailing right up to the last postal dates for Christmas.
