Probably a long shot, but is anyone having a stall at Lincoln Christmas Market?

We did look at doing Lincoln - it is very very expensive I think it was 2-3 grand.

I have spoken with many who have done it in the past and they say that like most things, it is not as good as it used to be.

I find at this time of year, there are far more lucrative ways of getting a better return on my investment ;) ;)

Let me know if there are any soaps etc on there, if there are I'll wager a £1 that they are bought in and not handmade :lol:

Make a note of websites if possible - please

I am at a Victorian Market on Sunday - which based on previous years will be stonking ;)

They have 45 coaches coming from all over to spend spend spend.

I'll let you know, the things you are asking is the main reason I am going, last year there was a whole marque dedicated to soap stalls, probably not the best way of orgaising it, but at least it will make my research a little easier.
