Fairtrade Autumn Market: Friday 9th October, 7pm to 9pm: St. Martin in the Wood Church

Eastleigh is now officially a Fairtrade Borough, a status achieved on 7th May 2015, thanks to the hard work by the volunteers at the Fairtrade in Eastleigh Borough Campaign.

At this Fairtrade Autumn Market, you’ll find crafts, jewellery, scarves, clothes, cards, and exquisite gifts, ethically produced from around the world.

Thanks to local Fairtrade promoters Tricia Urquhart (Traidcraft), Heather Dibb, Sue Hunt (Shop Equality in Eastleigh), Asvanna Clothes, and The Leprosy Mission Trading for bringing a variety of Fairtrade goods to share with the community.

There’ll be various crafts for you to try. I’ll also be running a papercrafting session, so do come and say hi, have a go and have fun.

Arts, Craft, and Gifts Market: Saturday 14th November, 11am – 3pm: Age Concern Centre

Michelle Duffy runs Arts, Craft, and Gift Markets across Hampshire, and I have visited both markets that she ran at the Chandler’s Ford Age Concern Centre. There were a great variety of crafters with their handmade soaps, knitted items, bags, buttons, cards, and jewellery. These markets are really enjoyable and are inspirational.

I hope this autumn you’ll enjoy visiting these markets in Chandler’s Ford, relax, support both Fairtrade and our local traders.

If you know of other local markets, please let the readers know by leaving a comment, or sending me your event flyers.
