Please tick which fairs you wish to apply for below.  Should GNCCF Manchester be cancelled due to Govt/Covid-19 restrictions, you will be given the option to take part in an online version and the organisers will contact you regarding further details and revised fees/refunds. Please refer to our Terms & Conditions on our website.  For all GNCCFonline fairs selected exhibitors will be contacted at a later date for images and details of the 8 products you wish to “sell” in your shop window.

We particularly welcome makers who can ALSO demonstrate on their stands, as our visitors enjoy observing you making and it can start a dialogue with you about your practice. You will still need to be selected to sell your work, but if possible we will give you extra free space on your stand to set up equipment to demonstrate your making.

In need of a bit of craft-fair knowhow? To support our makers, we're offering a package of focused business webinars to help you “Get Fair Ready”, drawing on the GNCCF team’s extensive knowledge and the wider expertise of our partners. We're thinking an all-in cost of £25. For those who need more tailored business advice, we'll be offering one hour one-to-one mentoring sessions at a cost of £45.  Make the most of our friendly team! More to follow, but to register your interest to receive further details please tick below:

GNCCF carry out outreach work with our partner charities working with disadvantaged communities in Greater Manchester. We provide high quality workshops for people to learn new craft skills and make something they are proud of.  We hire makers to plan workshops lasting upto 1.5 hours, or a series of workshops over consecutive weeks to deliver more ambitious projects. Workshops need to be aimed as if the participants are around 8 years of age, as some of those taking part have learning difficulties - participants have different levels of ability. If you would like to design and lead a workshop we would love to hear from you. Please outline what type of workshops you could deliver, what space and amenities you will need access to, any relevant experience – and if you are DBS checked (though this is not a requirement). 

When you upload your images can you ensure 'Image 1' is square and between 1-3MB. 'Images 2, 3, 4, 5, 6' can be uploaded in either square, portrait or landscape and be between 1-3mb. Please do NOT send smaller images. MOST IMPORTANTLY you MUST label each image on your upload with your business name followed by a sequential number e.g. ANNSMITH1. Please save your images as JPEG's before uploading them.  We cannot accept PDF or TIF formats. Your application may be rejected if you do not label your images  in this format.

The following information helps us to make sure we are making GNCCF representative of our communities. It is confidential and never shared with any other organisations. It's also required by our funders, so it helps the fair to happen every year. Thank you!
