A new craft fair has opened in Fareham for the festive season, with independent local businesses selling a range of hand-made goods.
Flo Circle holds a monthly craft fair in Portchester and Gosport, but is now hosting a pop-up Christmas fair inside a unit on Osborne Square in Fareham Town Centre.
The Mayor of Fareham Cllr Tina Ellis cut the ribbon to open the indoor market on Saturday November 7, which will be open until the end of the festive season.
Helen Ruff, owner of Flo Circle, said: “It was a brilliant opening weekend. There was a real buzz with the Mayor cutting the red ribbon on Saturday morning, and we had great support from the local community. Traders did well and are looking forward to returning.
“We had drop in textiles workshops on both days hosted by Gosport-based Sew Tribal, so visitors were able to create reg wreaths, winter scene Kinusaiga and try their hand at weaving and making pom poms.
“Sunday was also a good day with lots of people in town for the Remembrance parade. We're excited for what the rest of the pop-up has in store!”
