Christmas craft fair to celebrate Breightmet talent

We're giving Breightmet residents a chance to showcase their artistic talents at the I Heart Handmade Craft Fair and Open Day.

Community groups and individual sellers will take to the stalls at Breightmet Community Hub (previously Elderdale Community Centre) at Yewdale Gardens, in an event organised by our East Neighbourhood Management Team and the Knit and Natter Group.

You can buy handmade goods including jewellery, cards and gifts, and take part in craft workshops being offered throughout the day.

Lisa Forrest, our Community Development Officer for the east, said: “We have so many talented artists here in Breightmet and the craft fair is a great way to showcase what they can do, while raising money for the community groups at the same time.

“We’ve recently taken over the centre and this is just one of the ways we’re hoping to breathe new life into it and encourage community spirit and involvement. We’d like to use the craft fair as an opportunity for residents to give us their feedback too.”

The craft fair will take place on Saturday 29 November, from 11.00am until 3.00pm, and it's free entry.

We still have space available for people wishing to register for a stall. For more information, phone Lisa on 01204 329709.
