Spring Bank Holiday Weekend: May 24 - 26

Success for Alford Craft Market.

Having featured many of the most interesting crafts such as glass-blowing, blacksmithing, ceramics, restoration crafts etc over the late May Bank Holiday Weekend, the organising committee has another “ first” planned.

2008 will feature Musical Instrument Makers.

So far there are ten makers booked or to be confirmed, who will display and demonstrate guitars, mandolins, violins, border bagpipes, early stringed instruments and possibly even organ building.

The event takes place 24th, 25th, 26th May 2008 at the Manor House Gardens and Marquee, West St, Alford Lincs.

For more information on this and other events this season telephone Mr. C. Hornsey on 01522 687911

There are Markets at Easter, Spring Bank Holiday Weekend, throughout the Summer Months, August Bank Holiday and Christmas.

Entrance to the Craft Markets is free, however, at Bank Holidays, you are encouraged to make a donation which will help to pay for the advertising and the entertainment which is provided.
