Brighton Craft Fair at the historic Friends Meeting House, in central Brighton.
Meads Magic 2026 will be on 27th November. More details will be added as they're confirmed. There is also an excellent video of the day on our Youtube channel and Instagram page.
This year we have secured two dates at the Brighton Dome on June 8th and December 14th. We have the ground floor area including the Foyer, Founders Room, West Corridor and Mezzanine Bar. Along with our usual great mix of art and craft we will also have live music from local bands and a real ale bar supplied by Kent based micro brewer Shivering Sands. This promises to be one of the largest art and craft markets in Brighton this year.
Stall prices are £55 for a table.
We are delighted to have been asked to help manage the Meads Magic Christmas market again on Friday, 28th November. Meads Magic is an annual Christmas event held in the Meads Village area of Eastbourne. With over 50 stallholders confirmed for this year and 3,000 visitors it's one of the biggest community Christmas events in Eastbourne. The newly restored parish hall will be open with hot drinks available as well as a selection of indoor stalls.
This year will include live music from local bands, dance groups and school choirs. Santa will be joining us again in the children's parade along Meads Street and then in the Grotto. There will be a restored Victorian carousel providing rides for the children and we'll also have another great selection of local makers, artists and food producers. The market will once again be open from 14:30 to 19:30.
Prices are the same as last year with pitches for £45.00 if you provide your own gazebo up to 3m x 3m and £65.00 for a pitch with a 2.5m x 2.5m gazebo provided..Power is available on the day for lights up to a maximum of 1kw per stallholder, this will only be suitable for lighting. You will need to bring lighting for your stall.
If you are using your own gazebo please note that it must be a fixed metal frame with covers on three sides. The push together pole type of summer gazebo that you often find at DIY centres won't be suitable. If you are unsure please get in touch.
We will be running four fairs again between May and August in 2023. It will be held outside the old Debenhams store on Terminus Road, BN21 3AP, and at the same price as last year £35.00 per pitch.
