Our craft fair forms part of the central hub around the village stage and buzzes from morning until night.
We showcase work from local and national crafters. If you want something unusual, this is the place; handmade and ethical clothing, musical instruments, pottery, handmade cards, jewellery, silks from the Far East, rainbow-coloured shoes, leather belts, books and garden ornaments – the list is endless. There’s also a number of music stalls if you’re in the market to upgrade your instrument or want to buy a new one.
We have our own merchandise stall in the main arena, run by our volunteers, selling SFF branded products including t-shirts, hoodies and reusable water bottles.
CDs are available from Roots Records (also in the main arena) – you can even get them signed by your favourite artists after their show in the signing tents.
