Our next fair will take place Saturday and Sunday 3 and 4 February 2024 and will be all about celebrating the creativity of women, Spring, Brigit and St Brigid's Day.

Imbolc celebrates the beginning of Spring, new growth and new creation. This fair will celebrate all things Brigit and Brigid. It will particularly celebrate the impact of women in business, products that empower women and girls and will also support enterprises with a strong focus on women. 

The St Brigid's Day Fair will have workshops to attend, entertainment to enjoy, food to feast on and a variety of items such as art, clothing, crafts, design and gift options available to buy.

Visitors will be invited to drop in and browse stalls from businesses, craftspeople and artists, with lots of unique gifts and things to buy. People can also try something new at our various family friendly workshops for all ages and enjoy live music, hot and cold drinks and food.
