I had a stall at the Peterborough Town & Country show at the weekend, 4th & 5th July. The show was held alongside the river in Embankment, and for its first opening year seemed to attract hundreds of visitors. The hot weather was an added bonus, although it did tip down for about 20 mins on Sunday, resulting in the marquees being absolutely packed!
I had a great time and met lots of lovely people, including other stall holders. I also managed to give out my Open Studios brochures, so was pleased about that. A lady from Peterborough Open Studios approached me and asked if I would join them, so thats something to think about for next year as I’m busy with Northamptonshire Open Studios this year.
Camping was fun! We were allowed to pitch our tent directly behind the marquee, so ‘home’ for the night was only a few metres away. Our cool box didn’t stay very cool – We had to go to a local supermarket for some ice cubes and also bought some frozen sausages for breakfast, which kept the drinks cold throughout the night!
I was pleased with the layout of my stall. Like before I was situated next to the entrance of the marquee so I could welcome people in.
This event was organised by Oakleigh Fairs. I would definitely recommend them – very hard working and could not fault them. I’m doing another show with them in August at the International Bristol Balloon Fiesta over 4 days which I’m really excited about!
