I had a wonderful time at the Brighton Craft Fair on Saturday, despite being very nervous about selling at a different venue further afield than I’m used to. I needn’t have worried as there were a few familiar faces from the fairs I’ve done in Eastbourne, and plenty of friendly new ones who made me feel very welcome! There is a strong feeling of community amongst the crafters at these fairs that I really didn’t expect. I suppose I assumed that it would be more of a competative atmosphere as each stall vied for the customers’ attention, but it’s much more supportive than that, and everyone is happy to see each other do well. You can see photos of other stalls and there wares here on Facebook.

Doing these fairs at all would be completely impossible for me without the support of Mr BAM, who was an absolute trooper at the Brighton Fair. He sat with me on the stall for much of the day (admittedly he was playing Candy Crush on his tablet most of the time!) and brought me sushi for lunch. I’m very lucky to have him!
