The UK is without doubt one of the most creative and diverse places on Earth.

The talent of makers and artists needs a vent, a channel that allows both new and experienced people the chance to market and sell their work. They also need to network with their peers to exchange ideas and experiences. The craft fair can be that channel. It challenges people, it inspires and motivates people to do better and more.

Supporting your local craft fairs as a visitor and purchaser, helps to grow the community and encourage further creative, social and community wealth.

Personally fun fairs are not my cup of tea...but Pinner fair has been in existence since the 14th century 700 hundred years ago it has a royal charter for anything to be going that long has a lot going for it originally set up for farmers to sell their live stock and produce and men used to go there to pick up work it was the most important event of the year the story goes...everyone would gather the evening before to witness the rush in At six oclock a police sergeant would blow his whistle and everyone would rush into the parade ... read more >

Over the years we have added several new ways for people to find listings added by members. The most recent is the Craft Directory. The Craft Directory pulls all the different listing types together into one easy to navigate list. When you first enter the directory, you will see the countries and categories, along the top. Click on the link you want to follow and away you go. Then select a region, county and down to town level. We have pulled everything together so that we can focus on some new functionality, to help visitors ... read more >

Your blog is like hungry children, waiting to be fed... and of course needs to be fed. At times there doesnt seem to be anything to write about but once you have written one blog you feel it needs to be fed. I love history... and along with another love of mine craft and with the launching of loadofhay in Pinner Village I would love to give you an insight into Pinner and notable people who was in residence... Pinner is centuries old, once a hamlet of medieval Harrow, records showing a church was here in 1230 the notable people... ... read more >

What is craft ? Something that has been made with love? an object of beauty? ethical? uniqueness? loadofhay is filled with items with these descriptions and more, our prices are lower than most craft markets but we strive to make sure our standards are not our exhibitors price and quality of their craft with their approach to customers make sales... Are there still people that prefer Individuality rather than mass produced goods? I am sure there are, our exhibitors go out of their way to bring crafts which are not available on ... read more >

I am doing an in-depth look into colour based on the freshness of early Spring, through the hot reds and golden grasses of Summer, Autumns colours of old age to the neutral tones of Winter. Well look at natures colour palette and how there are several ways to get from one colour to another, how light and shadow can change a colour, tints, tones and shades and the importance of colour associations and harmonies. Orange is an intense colour, powerful enough to increase the oxygen supply to the brain and reminds us of the sun, fire ... read more >

But something unexpected happened too, ... read more >
