Craft fairs are usually held for one or two days and often at weekends, although some larger shows could be run for up to a week. Depending on the venue, typical times to run them would be from 10am to 5pm. During Spring and Summer, you might be able to hold a fair at a music festival or other such cultural and social gatherings. Evenings are often popular during the lead up to Christmas, when people are looking for something special to give as a gift or to use in their festivities. Try to find out if there are other activities taking place locally, which might not be craft related but could still bring more people into the area, attracting more potential visitors. You can use the craft calendar to find events running on particular dates. Holding your craft fairs at regular intervals, such as the first Saturday of each month, could help to raise awareness of your craft fairs and promote them more cost effectively by including this fact in leaflets, posters and adverts.

Entertainment and other supplier services

There are suppliers of services which could help to improve the craft fairs that you run, making them more of a day out experience and attracting more visitors. For example, on site catering or a cafe, entertainment in the form of live music, fairground games, face painting, performance artists or arts and craft workshops. You could perhaps provide suppliers with a free spot at your fair in return for a percentage of their profits. Remember though that your aim is to provide an enjoyable day out for visitors, so that they leave happy and your exhibitors do well. This will encourage them to come again and recommend you to others.
