Our Promise
Curly Magpie is not just another craft fair.
We’re a welcoming space for everyone, whatever they’re selling. We love old things that can be reused or re-homed, and we celebrate creativity in all its forms.
Our fairs offer a wide and carefully curated mix of goods – old and new, unique finds, and individually designed and handmade pieces from our wonderful stallholders. We value local people and local talent, and our aim is always to bring the community together, promote local attractions, and support the local economy wherever we can.
If you have an idea, suggestion, or would like to get involved, please feel free to get in touch – we really are friendly. Promise! x
