Grand Spring Makers & Artists Fair at The British Engineerium

About

Paper Daisy return this Spring to Hove for a spectacular weekend of discovery & celebration of small creative local businesses for a Grand Spring Makers & Artists Fair - a truly enjoyable Spring festival of creativity for all!

The perfect opportunity to meet the makers, artists & designers and learn about their craft and inspiration behind their work. Take away small batch or bespoke, one of a kind items that are made with passion and pride, make connections for future purchases too. You'll find an incredible selection -whether for yourself, your friends & family or your home and something for everyone, whatever your budget!

The Spring Fair will bring together (in excess of 125 each day) designers, craftspeople, artists, performers and small batch local food & drink producers across the grounds of the iconic & historic British Engineerium, both inside the former Victorian Industrial Coal Shed Hall with its gallery mezzanine floor and outside in the surrounding grounds and rear car parking area, making it one of the largest gathering of local creative businesses in the Brighton & Hove area this Spring/Summer season! Each and every exhibitor will be specially selected for their uniqueness, quality and relevance to create the perfect voyage of discovery for visitors wanting to explore and support small local businesses.

There will also be a fully licensed bar, barista coffees, delicious locally produced street food, live entertainment and even demonstrations & the opportunity to take part in creative workshops too - all adding to a great weekend and a perfect Spring day out for all!
