🦋 Stallholders 🦋
Coppertop Jewellery is based in Sheffield and is available for craft fairs in the local area. Their jewellery is inspired by nature and they often use things like leaves and pine cones to create texture in their beautiful pieces.
Please do consider adding your business to our directory - you can do so from just £5 per year and you’ll be seen by over 2,000 people per week on our website! Plus, you’ll get listed here on our newsletter which is sent out to 10,000 people!
We have more than 50 crafters, so if you’re looking for someone to join your event, please do go and reach out to them!
Do you send out invoices? Do you receive payment from people? At Bookastall, we use Xero to manage all our payments, VAT and tax. They’re currently offering a massive 90% off if you sign up for 6 months! Our accountant has direct access to our Xero instance so can manage a lot of stuff on our behalf.

As the days grow longer and the sunshine returns, there's something truly special about summer on the craft scene. Whether you’re busy prepping for outdoor markets, hosting garden workshops, or simply creating with the windows flung open, this season brings a renewed sense of energy—and opportunity.
Summer craft events are more than just a place to sell your wares. They’re a celebration of creativity in full bloom. With people out and about, enjoying local fairs and community days, it's the perfect time to showcase your handmade pieces in the best light—quite literally!
For event organisers, summer is a chance to think bigger: bring your community together in green spaces, encourage collaboration between stallholders, and offer experiences that go beyond the usual table setups. Live demonstrations, mini-make sessions, and interactive stalls can turn browsers into buyers—and visitors into loyal followers.
And for crafters, it’s not just about filling your calendar with events. It’s about enjoying the season, connecting with like-minded makers, and sharing the story behind every item you create. There’s nothing quite like a compliment from a passer-by, a sunny afternoon of sales, or the buzz of a well-attended fair to remind us why we do what we do.
So here’s to a summer of sunshine, stalls, and stronger creative communities. Let’s make it our most joyful and inspiring one yet.
