📣 We're running our next survey!!
We first did these before lockdown, and we're back to see how the crafting community has changed since then.

If you are able to spare a few minutes (the survey says 10 but it shouldn't be more than about 4 or 5) we'd REALLY appreciate your input.

We'll be looking into how much people spend at craft fairs and what they buy. How much people are paying to sell at craft fairs and how far they will travel. Plus, how event organisers are advertising their events.

If you can spare a few minutes, please take the survey here:
