East of England Lace and Craft Supplies Fair 2009

We thought you might like to see some photos we took last year of the Fair, just to give you a flavour of what is on offer. These photos were taken in the last hour of the fair...we didn't have time to take any earlier!

Some of the Suppliers in the Buckingham Suite

Some of the Suppliers in the Essex Suite

As you can see we give you plenty of seats to rest your weary feet on your way around the fair.

Tea and Coffee area

If you want more than a snack, the Holiday Inn Restaurant is available, but you need to book your table early on the day!

Two of the displays and demonstrations

Peterborough Lacemakers

Ring of Tatters

Sorry we didn't get photos of the Machine Embroidery or Quilting.

The Entrance Hall with the display of Bedfordshire Lace

This year the display will be done by the 89 Lace Group, and next year we hope to have a "Kadleidoscope of Collars".

This is only showing you part of what there is in store for you at the fair, and we look forward to seeing you at the Holiday Inn, Peterborough on Sunday the 9th of May 2010.

John Bull Trophy

This competition is open to all Lacemakers, not only Lace Guild Members; we have been given advance notice of the theme for the 2010 competition, it is "Movement" and is to tie in with the cultural part of the 2012 Olympics. So get your thinking caps on and see what ideas you can come up with this time.

Further details of the various classes etc. will be available on the Lace Guild web site www.laceguild.org from May onwards.
