On Friday, 4th December, Aberdeen Books and Crafts (the bookshop) are hosting a Christmas Craft Market at their Aberdeen premises. It will be an all day market, from 8am to 4pm. Peter Shaw, of Aberdeen Books and Crafts, comments:"This is a really exciting event for Aberdeen, as to the best of my knowledge it will be the first time such a market has been held here, other than annual fund-raising events for the NGK and the Old Age Home. It represents a major showplace for those with home or cottage industries in the district, and if successful, we plan for it to become a regular feature of Aberdeen."
To date, there are in excess of twenty stalls, with merchandise ranging from fabrics to baked goods and jams, to meat, plants, donuts, jewellery and much more. Pancakes, borewors rolls, and cool drinks will be on sale. To add to the festivities, Aberdeen Books and Crafts are offering 20% off all books on that day, plus substantial discounts on craft items.For more information, or to book a stall (R50), contact Sue or Peter on 083 794 2262.
