The Digital Media Centre is a hub of businesses and startups, making it the perfect place to hold a fair for these local crafters. They had decked up the place with this huge Christmas tree with orange tinsel and ornaments and Craft Business added these amazing hanging circle shapes with the Etsy logo and Crafty logos on them, really helped bring the space together.

Sarah Catterall Jewellery had a beautiful stall and it was that busy I hardly got the chance to get some good photos of the gorgeous jewellery.
