A FESTIVE craft fair will be held at The Lights in Andover on 30 November giving local craftspeople and artists the opportunity to display their work.

The fair will be held under the banner of Wrapped Up' and it's planned to be a fun, festive event for Andover at the very beginning of the run up to Christmas.

Visitors to the event will also be able to join in a number of festive-themed workshops such as card making, gift wrapping and carol singing.

Live music will also be provided while the bar and café will supply festive mulled wine, minced pies and many goodies.

"The craft fair will be an excellent opportunity for craftspeople to exhibit their work to a new audience and sell direct to the general public," said Faye Bradley, arts development officer involved with the fair.

"We are looking for high quality exhibitors so that our visitors can make a hole in their Christmas gifts shopping list."

Local artists and craftspeople are invited to contact Faye by the end of September if they would like to be considered for a stand at the event.

Priority will be given to artists living in the Test Valley but the organisers will work to ensure there is a good range of exhibitors and crafts at the craft fair.

If anyone is interested in exhibiting contact Faye on 01264 368844 or alternatively email fbradley@testvalley. gov.uk
