A wonderful collection of carefully curated Fenland & East Anglian artists, creators & makers who are selling their work, demonstrating their crafts & holding workshops on the day.
All profits are going to Norfolk & Waveney MIND, a charity close to our hearts.
Following on from the success of our Summer Artisan Fayre in July (we raised a further £900.00 for Norfolk & Waveney MIND), Simon and I are putting together our Autumn Artisan Fayre to showcase another selection of fabulous local Fenland & East Anglian artists, makers & creators, while at the same time raise funds for Norfolk & Waveney MIND.
Join us at Upwell Hall on the Norfolk/Cambs border - New Rd, Upwell, PE14 9AB - from 10.00 am until 4.00 pm on Sunday 26 October.
Some of our artisans are demonstrating their crafts (including pyrography, lino printing, artisan floristry, mixed media illustration, Powertex sculpture, felting, embroidery ...).
FREE ENTRY and oodles of parking at the hall!
Fanoggins Bakery will be joining us again with their yummy locally made snacks and treats and there are tables & seating provided.
Don't miss out on the wonderful high-end raffle with all prizes made by each of the attending artists!
We're also being joined by the fabulous duet, The Rummuns!
Sharon & Alan will be providing acoustic accompaniment throughout the day.

All event profits (stallholder fees, food & drink profits, raffle ticket sales) are going to Norfolk & Waveney MIND, a charity that provides advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem.
This particular charity is close to our hearts, as Simon and I spend a lot of our time here at Blended Monkey offering creative therapy workshops & experiences to people who suffer with poor mental health, are recovering from brain trauma, or who generally need to get away from the pressures of everyday life and immerse themselves in something creative and relaxing.
