Lovely words from our past sellers

    “The Christian Christmas Craft Fair is one of my highlights of the year! Not only was it so lovely to discover new sellers and work alongside them, it really helped my business grow so much over the Christmas period. I was really taken aback by the response! The event was so well organised, it was such a fun and encouraging day… I really can’t wait for this year!”

    “I had so much fun taking part in the online craft fair last year. I was really new to the small biz scene but Jordan was so organised and the day itself was great. There were interviews throughout the day which was lovely to have a personal touch and it really boosted my little shop just as the Christmas rush was starting - would highly recommend!”

    “The Christian Christmas Craft Fair was a great experience for me as a seller. The turnout was really good, we were well advertised and I was able to sell a lot of my stock. The atmosphere was festive and welcoming and I loved being part of a creative community showing a Christian presence at Christmas time.”

the story so far

The Christian Christmas Fair started life as a God-poke* back in the Spring of 2019. After setting up my own small business, I noticed how many awesome Christmas Fairs took place locally, but saw a gap for an event that had an intentionally Christian focus.

Bringing together 13 talented local businesses and craftspeople, our very first Christian Christmas (Craft) Fair came to life in November ‘19 in my hometown Helston in Cornwall. The only criteria: each maker must include some presence of products/packaging that points people to Jesus!

It was a huge success for sellers and shoppers alike, and had a really lovely community feel, and by the end of the day everyone was asking if it’d be back next year. Little did we know what 2020 had prepared for us!

I’m so excited for the next chapter of The Fair, whether you’re new or have seen me pop up for previous Christmas events, thank you so much for your support!

*you know those ideas that you just keep coming back to, that you start to wonder if they’re part of your plan? And then there’s a series of un-ignorable signs? Yeah, one of those!

In 2024 we officially registered as a CIC (Community Interest Company). It's a really exciting step for us, which emphasises our status as a not-for-profit organisation.

We're holding our Devon and Suffolk Fairs for the second year, and our Cornwall Fair for the 4th (in-person). This year we're also bringing back the Online Market!
