Discover Handmade Gifts at Winter Craft Events

Handmade gifts are a JOY to find, buy and gift for any reason! Whether it's a special occasion, a treat to yourself, or getting organised for the festive season; visiting a craft fair, art market or festive event where you know you'll discover high quality handmade gifts can make a great day out!

Meeting the Maker, chatting about their work and how they create can really add to the JOY of choosing to buy. Winter Craft Fairs are inspiring, fun and full of original gift ideas.

Many Perthshire Artisans take part (and even sometimes organise) these Seasonal Craft and Art Markets and this blog* lets you know when and where you can go and enJOY finding something different from October through to December, whatever your reason to buy!
