The Driffield School Association is planning to hold the largest Christmas Craft Fair in the East Riding and Driffield’s largest indoor event this month.
This is the 23rd year for the event, which is being held on 29 November at Driffield School, on Manorfield Road.
The fair is entirely indoors, and the ground floor will be changed into an Aladdin’s cave of quality crafts.
There will be 80 exhibitors from all over Yorkshire and beyond and once again the fair is a sell out. The event runs from 10am to 3.30pm and access is wheelchair friendly. Admission is £1, 75p for concessions, and free for children of primary school age. To encourage more visitors in the afternoon, admission for all will be just 50p after 2pm.
The 80 stalls will be exhibiting sewing, jewellery, art work, glasswork, quilting, woodworking, knitting, toys, plants, books, handbags, scarves, ceramics, terracotta, photos, cards, pyrography, sweets, candles, baby gifts, wreaths, garden ornaments, plaques, teddies, in addition to thousands of Christmas-themed gifts and decorations.
The organiser, Keith Harris, who has organised the popular event for 23 years, asks Driffield and surrounding area people to once again support the event as all proceeds go to Driffield School. Last year, attendance was down at about 800 visitors, this year Mr Harris asks for at least 1,200. He asks you all to make this your first port of call for that unusual Christmas gift before hitting the High Street shops and promises that you will not be disappointed.
There is ample free parking on site and refreshments will be available all day. For more details call 01377 254172.
