My next event this year is a new one for me,

The Essex County Craft Show on 28th & 29th June, taking place within the wonderful grounds of Ingatestone Hall CM4 9NR  Free parking

You can book online for this event at www.essexcountycraftshow.co.uk

Next, the annual Cambridge Open Studios 

I will be open the 5th-6th and 19th-20th July from 10am-5pm on both days .

The venue for both weekends is The Pavillion, Cambridge Victoria Homes, Victoria Road, CB4 3DX. Some parking is available.

There is a comprehensive guide printed in full colour showing all the open studios and the dates they are open to help you plan your day. The free guides will be available in cafes, libraries, art & craft shops and galleries.

Following that, I am going to be at the Five Parishes Country Show near Aberton on 3rd August, more details to follow.

The next show will be a favourite of mine, the Rural Magpie Jewellery Fair in Lavenham, Suffolk CO10 9QT This is a one day show on 27th September from 10am-4pm, a quirky event of mainly jewellers, it shouldn't work but it does because everyone is so different.  There is always great tea and cake at this event.

After that I'm looking forward to three weekends at the amazing Blackthorpe Barns in Bury St Edmunds. It will be my 5th year exhibiting at this venue. The crafts here are top notch, set in an ancient barn on the Rougham Estate. The brand new restaurant is fantastic, offering locally produced fare, it also has one of the best Christmas shops I have ever seen, not to mention all the Christmas trees from tiny to seriously tall!

 As other dates come up I will add them to this page.
