What we do:
We have the longest and possibly largest running Christmas Craft Fair in the area.
We are open 6 days a week from 10am to 5pm with extended hours in December.
We display all work ourselves, provide additional staff, pack wrap and sell your
items on consignment. We advertise all over the island, and on our websites.
There is almost 6 weeks of Christmas Sales.
What do you do?
You bring your items to us, with a full inventory list.
Go home, put your feet up, or make more stock, do your Christmas Shopping,
Wait for your cheque to arrive.
Some artists choose to take tables at weekend craft fairs, this is also a good way of selling, however many of our artists find that they have to travel to these venues, pay for overnight accomodation and food bills, lose three or four production days, and after all these costs are taken out of income, they have less than they would if they had sold on consignment.
