FOR VISITORS

New Milton Crafts events have showcased the work of hundreds of local and regional crafts people, featuring contemporary and highly original makers and designers across all media. With Jewellery, glass, silver, wood crafts, ceramics, textiles, clothing and the odd unusual pieces thrown into the mix.

New Milton Crafts 2012 events offer beautiful handcrafted objects to suit everyone's tastes and budget. Many of these items will be unique and cannot be purchased on the high street.

Visitors can spend as much time as they like in a relaxed yet stimulating atmosphere, chat to the craft people and find out the story behind their work.

A Cafe area is provided for visitors to relax with a drink and a bite to eat and contemplate their purchases - or just to relax after visiting the Fair.

The Memorial Centre has full disabled access and there is considerable low cost parking around New Milton.

How can you ensure you don't miss one of our Events ?   New Milton 2012 Events will be well publicised both through the Advertiser and Times and other local media including BBC Radio Solent and Park FM.  You can also keep in touch with us through this Web Site and our sister web site - www.newmiltontoday.com  - the Community Web Site for New Milton.

FOR EXHIBITORS

See important note at bottom of page.

For Exhibitors, New Milton Crafts 2012 provides a proven formula which has been tested by the attendance of an average of over 1350 at each of the first two events in 2011.  The fair held on Saturday 5th November was attended by a record attendance of in excess of 1750 adults (excluding children under 14) - although this figure may well rise after attendance receipts have been checked.

The New Milton Craft Fairs work !!

Don't just take our word for it - the views expressed by some Stallholders.....

"I also want to say a big thank you for all your brilliant organisation and hard work organising these craft fairs - and always being so helpful"

"We had one of our best ever days at your July Craft Fair and we will most certainly be back "

“well organised, the  best I have been to,  I have yet to find any event to match yours”

"Just a quick line to say Thank You very much for a lovely day on Saturday.  The organisation of the event was excellent, unloading well planned, tea & coffee very welcome and the my table space couldn't have been better"  

For the Exhibitor, New Milton Crafts 2012 offers an informal and ideal large scale venue to promote their crafts, products and services.  The New Milton Town Partnership plays particular emphasis on drawing in the visitors with wide ranging promotional and advertising campaigns.  New Milton itself is a town with a population in excess of 25,000 people and there are large populations in the local area in places like Christchurch, Lymington, Milford on Sea, Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst.

The 2011 Events saw visitors drawn to the Fairs from as far afield as Poole, Southampton and Guildford - such is the reputation that we quickly gained.

We understand the needs of Stallholders and try to make the day with us as enjoyable as possible.  Hopefully also we make the whole process, from placing your Booking to clearing away at the end of the Show as stress free as possible.  We want you also to have an enjoyable day as well as hopefully providing you with the opportunity to make it a profitable day.

The New Milton Memorial Centre is the largest indoor venue of its kind between Southampton and Bournemouth and it is a location which has proven easy to access and setup your Stall for a day's profitable trading.
