Sunday Flea - Birmingham

Thank you maximummouse who has let me know about the Sunday Flea
held at the Custard Factory in Birmingham on a Sunday 11am-4pm on Gibb Street.

She also says "There is also a (very small) monthly craft market here in Moseley (south birmingham) with a few stalls and they might run a christmas one solely for arts and crafts, though I haven't heard about whether it's actually happening yet!" So I will keep you posted about that if I hear anymore.

Pretty Crafty Things

Take a look at www.prettycraftythings.com
for information on markets happening in Leeds. I've taken the following info from there myspace page www.myspace.com/prettycraftythings

"prettycraftythings is a monthly alternative market, with the purpose of providing an avenue for contemporary indie designers and a new generation of renegade crafters to showcase their wares and network with other like-minded folk. It is also an opportunity for people to buy quality, unique handmade goods from the real life person who made it which, we are sure you will agree, is way better than the faceless, mass-produced corporate stuff isn't it!

come and join us at thesubculture on the third Saturday of every month between 2pm and 6pm
