Welcome to our web site. You have arrived at our Homepage where we try, without boring you, to give you a bit of information about our organisation.

The Creative Crafts Association have been organising Fairs for over 18 years and have grown to become one of the most successful Craft and Gift Fair Organisers in the country.

Each year we try to bring variety into our fairs with new ideas and some new venues. In 2008 we have new fairs at Bridgemere Garden World near Nantwich, the Ingestre Suite, which is the main exhibition hall at the Staffordshire County Showground and a new type of event at the Rheged Discovery Centre just outside Penrith. At Rheged, it’s a ‘Craft, Gift and You Make It Fair’ with considerable emphasis on demonstrations and classes so that customers can have a real hands on experience with expert guidance and instructions from participating exhibitors. Our Garden Centre events were very successful last year and we hope to further build on that success during 2008 with the addition of Bridgemere Garden World in June and November. Two of our most popular venues are the Reebok Stadium Exhibition Centre, which is part of the Bolton Wanderers Football Club, and Gawsworth Hall at Macclesfield where we incorporate a dedicated Food and Drinks Marquee within our Craft and Gift event.

We have a wide variety of venues. Some weekends we are exhibiting in one of our coastal resorts and others in glorious countryside within the walls of an Ancient Manor House. Great variety and really good fun.

At some events we included demonstrations or workshops and even recreations of a Medieval way of life in our tented villages. We try to make our Fairs interesting for all our customers. That’s why we have lots of different venues in lots of different areas and we add unexpected extras wherever possible.

Our long experience has taught us the value of researching all of our venues very carefully and also the massive importance of top rate advertising to make a successful event. Wherever we are exhibiting, each and every fair is preceded by massive advertising. We pride ourselves in putting out more road signs, often backed up with ‘AA’ type signs, than any other organisers in our area. We advertise on a large scale in all newspapers in the local areas and this almost always includes the Manchester Evening News when appropriate.

The Creative Crafts Association are once again keeping stall fees and customer admission charges lower than those of any other major organiser throughout 2008 and this is despite hefty increases in venue hire charges, advertising, sign posting and printing costs for all our posters, leaflets and brochures.

Whether you are one of our many visitors or exhibitors please feel free to look round our web site and we look forward to meeting you at one of our events in the near future.
