"Just to say how much we enjoyed the Craft Fair on Saturday. We were promoting our Christmas show and asking people to sign up for our mailing list. We got 174 email addresses so roughly 1 every 2 minutes which means a lot of footfall through your doors!
Looking forward to the Food Fair this Saturday."

"Thanks for all the organising - it all seemed to go very smoothly! Maybe it's the absence of any bollards?..!
Hope you are relaxing with a well deserved glass of wine."

"Thanks Emily. It's a lovely fair with a nice atmosphere. Setting up is easy and it's well organised. Also, not too expensive to do. Personally, I didn't do as well this year as last and it seemed generally quieter - but it was still profitable and I enjoyed it.
Thanks for all your effort in making it a successful fair."
Sarah Hudd
"I had a very good day and also had good comments. Thanks for all the e-mails before the market. I also thought the leaflet design looked really good. Hope to see you next year."
