I'm doing my first Craft Fair...or, should I say, Fayre. Just in case you weren't sure you were in the UK While the image is a link to their website, they don't have any information on it yet. The organiser gave me this information though:
So a day out for the family, plus craft and business stalls. I'll be inside, if you can tear yourself away from the excitement above, come say hi! I'll give more information when I have it.

I'd heard about Pop Up Business School during my last job. It sounded really cool, but as it was during term time I couldn't take advantage. But then I got made redundant a few months later, and happened upon the eventbrite page for one of their events happening in Maidstone. It was almost like fate. This is what i walked into on my first day. I wasn't sure it would be for me. Seeing that, you might not be sure either. It's all part of their ethos: done is better than perfect. Do the best with what you have and don't get into debt. If you see an event near you, give it a go. It's no commitment, just show up the first day (or any day you're free), and if you like it, keep on coming. This was the schedule: Images from the Pop Up Business School Website It was packed full of useful stuff. Ask as many questions as you like, get advice from the trainers, and talk to like-minded people going through the same things you are. You'll probably meet someone with contacts or who can give you an idea you hadn't even thought of.
It's a really powerful, inspiring experience. It's a lot of common sense information, but I got that little nudge I needed to get going. I made this website. I started posting on instagram. I contacted events I could sell at. It might not work out, but at least I'm giving it go. If you could do anything, what would it be? What's stopping you? |
