Craft fairs for Douglas

Two fairs promoting Manx crafts are to be held in Douglas town centre.

They'll take place in Regent Street on Saturday, October 20, and Saturday, November 17, between 10am and 5.30pm.

The fairs are the idea of Christine Howson of Stardust in the Strand shopping centre.

She says, "On several weekends this year there have been outdoor events that have created a buzz in the town and attracted a good number of people.

"We’re keen to trial these two dates and give Manx crafters an opportunity to display their work to what we hope will be an Island-wide audience of appreciative shoppers."

The fairs are being supported by Douglas Development Partnership.

Town centre manager Gill Anderson says, "There are still stalls available and we’re keen to hear from any Manx crafters who would like to be part of what we hope will become a regular town centre event."

To be included and for more details of the Manx crafts fairs contact Gill Anderson, ganderson@douglas.org.im, call 696304 or visit Douglas Development Partnership’s office in Victoria Street, Douglas.
