All Colonies residents were invited to take part in our annual community craft event, selling any creative offerings such as arts and crafts, home bakes, coffee etc, using their own home or garden as their shop!
Our organisers for 2023 were Alex and Elke who ensured that every registered participant received a seller’s info pack before the event with their details being included in the marketing. This very successful, much-loved annual community event is a great way to meet neighbours while showcasing arts and crafts and raising funds – to give an idea of the sum raised by those who reported their turnover figure after the event, over £2300 changed hands!
Here’s what was where and photos of some of the beautiful, unusual merchandise (at very affordable prices!) are on Stockbridge Colonies’ Facebook page.
