Anyone looking for unique Christmas presents should head down Cheshire way in early December, as the Little Northern Contemporary Craft Fair is taking place at the Altrincham School for Boys. Forty-five leading artists and designer-makers will be presenting a wide range of hand-made crafts, including jewellery, fashion accessories, and home wares. With a complimentary glass of mulled wine in hand, visitors will be able buy direct from the makers, or even commission their own bespoke piece of work. A pop-up vintage tea room will be there to take care of all your refreshment needs. The fair is organised by Great Northern Events, a not-for-profit company that also runs a larger craft fair in Manchester, which we have covered previously. The venue is close to Hale train station, and can easily be reached by road via the A56 or M56.
Sun 7 Dec, Altrincham Grammar School for Boys, Marlborough Rd., Bowdon, Altrincham, WA 14 2RS, 10am – 5pm, £3 OTD, www.greatnorthernevents.co.uk
