Rob....Doing a craft show is something ive thought about doing in the future so this short series youre doing is of interest. It would be good to do a video when you actually do your next craft show, Doing a complete vlog from setup to finish, talking throughout the day on how things are going, what's selling etc. I'm not sure if that's something you would be interested in doing. Anyway thanks for the videos they are very intresting.

@dodgydino62 that's an interesting idea. The only problem is that the day of the fair is *so* intense, that I'm not sure that I've have time to video it, but it is worth thinking about it. Leave it with me :-)

Rob, what is an average cost for a Christmas fair or general craft fair please? Keep up the good work 👍

@craigpeel5995 it varies very much based on the venue and how much effort the organiser is going to put in to advertising it. I've done general ones for £10 where it is a new, small venue and it is mostly up to the individual stall holders to advertise the event on their social media pages, right up to Christmas fairs for £50 where the event was very well organised, with lots of paid advertising on local radio and paid for FB adverts. Funnily enough the one that I paid £50 wasn't that successful, relative to the cost, because whilst it was a Christmas fair organised by a well known charity, it was a new (not very good) venue for that year, and so not a regular crowd who knew what to expect. The best fair that I do each year is a £35 Christmas fair organised (very well) by the same people every year in the same venue every year. People know that it will be good, and it is so well advertised, that people make a real effort to attend, and being Christmas, they have their wallets at the ready. It is so popular that there is intense competition to get a stall, and they usually have two to three time more stall holders applying, than they have stalls available. That also allows them to pick and choose who to give stalls to, which increases the quality and variety of the stall, which in turns makes it more popular with the punters. Win, win!
