2009 Christmas at The Cloisters


Following the success of our 2008 Christmas at The Cloisters Fair, Barnes Auctioneers will be running the event again this year.
We have made some subtle changes but, as last time round, this event will be managed completely separately to The Cloisters Fair (which will finish on Wednesday, 16th December).
Christmas at The Cloisters Fair will run from Sunday, 20th December 2009 up to and including Wednesday, 23rd December.
Christmas at The Cloisters Fair will offer a wide range of antiques and collectables - ideal gifts for the festive season. The stalls will be decorated accordingly and there will be a gift wrapping service available to benefit a local charity (tba).
Sunday, 2oth December will be our party day and will coincide with the Norwich Ice Sculpture Trail. Last year, this was by far and away our busiest day of the year and we will be promoting the fair throughout the Trail to attract even more visitors this time round.
We will be charging £1 on the door on the Sunday (Under-16's free) but the event will be free entry for all on the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Opening hours will be 10am to 6pm.
Stallholders must book the fair in advance and we will be allocating space on a first-come first-served basis. Stallholders will also need to pay a £10 non-refundable deposit. Stall fees for the four days are:
Sunday, 20th - £27
Monday, 21st - £18
Tuesday, 22nd - £18
Wednesday, 23rd - £18
Stallholders wishing to stand all four days will receive a discount and pay just £69 as opposed to £81. Stalls may be left overnight at stallholders' own risk - although the building will be locked and alarmed. This system worked well last year.
Last year's event was a great deal of fun for all of us who participated. Don't waste any time in booking your stall as places are strictly limited.
