FOLLOWING the remarkable success of ACF Craft Fair’s first Hyde End Easter Craft Show last year, we are delighted to confirm this year’s event has increased in size.

There will be many new exhibitors showing their handmade items not normally found on the high street.

Discover unique gifts and interact with their maker, or watch your own gift being made before your very eyes.

Only the highest standards of workmanship are selected for this great British craft fair.

On display will be bespoke leather work, stunning Â jewellery, woodwork, soap and skin care items, ladies’ and gents’ fashion, sculpture and much more. Visit the Make ’n’ Take workshops and learn the skills needed to create such masterpieces and have a go yourself.

Tuck into home cooked food at Auntie Christine’s Bistro and enjoy the soothing tones of our resident pianist playing his restored Beschstein grand piano.

Classical guitar duet Aquillo will also be back, having proved so popular last autumn.

With all that going on and free parking to boot, the Hyde End Easter Craft Show is a great day out for all the family.

See www.acfcraftfairs.com or call 01782 374083.
