HIGH quality local art and craft will be on sale at the annual Upton Pyne Craft Fair which is to be held in the village hall and church, tomorrow, Saturday, November 16.
The fair, now in its fifth year, is being organised by the Friends of Upton Pyne and proceeds will go towards the maintenance of the Grade 1-listed village church, which is being used as one of the two venues.
Friends member Linda Findlay said: “We are delighted that many of our regular craftspeople will be back again this year, as well as some very talented newcomers.
“Many live in or around Upton Pyne and all are based within a few miles of the village. It is amazing that so many talented and skilful people live in such a small area.
“Each year the fair becomes more popular with exhibitors and visitors alike and it is definitely a fixture now on the local arts and crafts scene. We aim to combine good quality work with delicious catering in a village setting with unrivalled views of the local countryside.”
Popular Exeter artist Sally Tuckey, who has family connections with the village, will be there together with potter Jane King and professional photographer John Howells. Other local craftspeople and artists will be selling a wide range of unique hand-made items including paintings, recycled wood, decorations, cards, jewellery, textiles, woodcrafts, needle felted birds and more.
There will be a raffle of items donated by the participating stall holders.
