CRAFTS in The Tower are holding their final market of the year this Sunday (November 13), when they will once again be supporting Tonic Music For Mental Health.

Last month the arts collective teamed up with the charity No More Durty Water for the Durty Sunday Social, and helped smash their target, raising more than £3,000 for the good cause. It came hot on the heels of their first successful collaboration with Tonic.

Meet and buy directly from talented designer makers with artisan crafts on show including delicately wrought silver jewellery, sea glass sculptures, gilded treasures and quirky ceramics. There will also be fine art and illustrations, upcycled fashion and home goods, and local author Matt Wingett.

All pitch fees will go directly to Tonic, and admission is free although a small donation to Tonic on the door will be much appreciated.

Organiser Kelly says ‘It wasn’t easy to get going again post-Covid but collaborating with these great local charities and seeing the difference that their work makes, especially during these difficult times, has really given us back our momentum. We’ll be looking forward to doing more of these shows next year and I’d implore everyone to shop local as much as possible this festive season to support our amazing independent traders, venues and creatives too’

The fair takes place on Sunday from 11am to 4pm at Tonic’s HQ in The Frank Sorrell Centre, Prince Albert Road, Southsea. The charity’s record, merch shop and tea bar will be open and dogs are welcome.
