The Playhouse Simply Christmas Craft Fair is expanding!

Bursting at the festive seams with colourful jewellery, Warhol-inspired collages, and lots of Christmas goodies, The Playhouse Simply Christmas Craft Fair is expanding!

So many craft artists from around Ireland are coming to The Playhouse to showcase their original craftwork and design that an extra room has now been added to the fair.

Individual and beautiful handmade ceramics, glass, textiles, quilting, jewellery, needlework, artwork, ornaments and adornments from the best local and national craft artists will be on show on Saturday December 4 from 11am to 4pm.

Local traders such as ‘My Chocolate Explosions', ‘Lollipop' hand knits and ‘Heraldic Craft' are just some of the local crafters taking part in the fair, which follows on from the great success of the Playhouse summer craft fair in July.

"This is the perfect opportunity to buy you friends and loved ones a special treat for their Christmas stocking!" Elaine Forde from The Playhouse said.

"The best thing about the craft fair is the way that it provides a platform for emerging and professional craftspeople, giving the shopper the opportunity to appreciate and support local talent.

All the beautiful products on sale at this fair will be unique, one-of-a-kind artwork by the finest local artists, right on your doorstep!"

Delicious refreshments will be available for you to indulge in, including Christmas cake and soothing coffee or relaxing tea.
