WE DID IT – TOGETHER WE DID IT!!!!!  NOW LET’S DO IT AGAIN XX

When we started thinking about the Artisan Market, it was always about bringing together local artisans and showcasing the amazing local talent in and around the wonderful Bollington and other East Cheshire Areas.  How amazing was our first Market and all the wonderful support given to us by local people, visitors and the management and tenants/residents at Clarence Mill.

Well it was more that we could have dreamed of – the support was amazing, the traders were amazing and the weather was amazing.  We were encouraged to keep it going, so …. here we go again ….

We are on our way to our SECOND Artisan Market at Clarence Mill – 2^nd November 2014 – 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. and attached is the Trader Booking Form. Please get this back as soon as possible so that Debra and I can sort out the mix.  We want it to be just as successful as the first – but bigger and hopefully better.  Please remember though, that all items must be handmade by the trader.

Who can apply:

• Traders from the 1^st Market

• New Traders Welcome!!  Please email with details and photos of items

• Please apply again if you were unsuccessful with our First Market

We had a lack of Gazebos so had to turn people down.  We still have a lack of Gazebos, but are working on it!  And this is why we cannot guarantee places to anyone – maybe one day when we have managed to get enough Gazebos to fill the whole space.

If anyone has a Gazebo they can lend us – it has to be sturdy, pop-up and have sides … we would be so grateful and it means we can give more Traders a chance.

Again, it will be bring your own table and the cost will be the special price of £15 per table in a shared Gazebo.  Anyone wanting to have sole use of one of our Gazebos will have to pay £30.

Any Trader from the 1^st Market, who has bought, stolen or borrowed a Gazebo can have a space on the 2nd November Market.  Sole Occupancy is £25 for the pitch; willing to share and it’s only £10 for the pitch.

We will be heavily advertising again.  Debra already has the poster ready and I will be sorting out banners and notices soon.

Please hurry up with your applications and let’s get together to make the SECOND Market bigger and better than the first.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL FROM DEBRA AND ME.
