Well Dressing Craft Fair at Tissington
Type:Art, Design & Crafts
The Green, Tissington, Ashbourne, Derbyshire, DE6 1RA
The Well Dressing at Tissington is an annual celebration which lasts for one week. There are 6 wells in the village which are dressed with a design created entirely from natural materials including coffee beans, leaves and petals from local flowers. The dressings are erected on the eve of Ascension Day and remain in place until the following Wednesday evening.
During the course of the week, the event attracts thousands of visitors into the village, from across the country.
This year we are excited to be holding an indoor craft fair on the first two and last two days of Well Dressing week, showcasing the very best in local makers.
We offer a relaxed indoor shopping experience, where you can browse at your own pace and chat directly with the makers to learn more about the individual products available.
You will only ever find handmade items for sale at our events and we also try to minimise duplication as much as possible to ensure that each of our stalls offer something unique.
We hold regular craft fairs throughout the year with different stallholders exhibiting at each event.
Although there are steps up to the main entrance, alternative access is available for wheelchair users and those with restricted mobility upon request. Disabled toilet and baby changing facilities are available.
If you are interested in becoming one of our stallholders or would like further details, please e-mail tissingtoncraftfairs@gmail.com.
***PLEASE NOTE WE DO NOT ACCEPT BOOKINGS FOR ANY ITEMS THAT ARE NOT HANDMADE AND DUE TO PERMANENT SMALL BUSINESSES IN THE VILLAGE, WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCEPT BOOKINGS FOR CANDLES, PLANTS OR FOOD/DRINK. Due to the volume of e-mails received, I will be unable to respond to messages relating to these.***
