The online fair has been curated and organised by Lancashire-based Hopeful and Glorious, which curates and runs makers events across Lancashire showcasing makers from the region and celebrating the talents of local creatives.
Heather Chapman of Hopeful and Glorious said: “With the online fair we want to try and create the best event we can both for our makers and our customers.
“We’d usually have the buzz of setting up, talking with makers - meeting some for the first time and welcoming others back so we’re encouraging our makers to set up a stall at home and film it. We’ll be having demonstrations and workshops from some of our makers and we want to create the two days to be a celebration of making and not just selling.”
