DERRY City and Strabane District Council has issued a final reminder to craft makers, artists and those selling unique products, that applications to trade must be received by this Friday, 28th July.
The Guildhall Craft Fair celebrates its twenty third anniversary in 2017 and is scheduled to take place between Friday 10th and Sunday 12th of November.
Applications are invited from craft makers and artists working in ceramics, non-precious and precious jewellery, interior textiles, fashion textiles and accessories, knitwear and woven textiles, leather, print-making, wood, lighting, furniture and product design, glass, metal, basket-making and other miscellaneous crafts.
New to the craft fair this year is a dedicated space on the ground floor of the Guildhall for complimentary and artisan food products and a zone for Christmas craft making demonstrations therefore applications from food producers and Christmas craft makers are also welcome.
Helena Hasson, Events Coordinator at Derry City and Strabane District Council confirmed the popular kid’s craft workshops will again return this year and added:
“The Guildhall Craft Fair is renowned for attracting huge crowds who are eager to discover something special and unique ahead of Christmas.
“The iconic Guildhall is an ideal space for crafters and producers to display their offerings.
“We usually receive a huge interest from traders seeking to secure a space, therefore we must insist that those interested in trading at this year’s craft fair, register their interest by this coming Friday, 28th July at 4.00pm.”
