Art & Craft Fair

There's an Art & Craft Fair coming to Crossgates Community Fair in Scarborough on Friday 30 October, and it's one of those easy, low-stakes mornings that works well if you're out and about in the town anyway. It runs from 10:00 to 13:00, so it's a morning thing rather than a full day — you can drift in, have a look around, and still be home for lunch.

As the name suggests, it's an art and craft fair, which means the focus is on makers and creators showing their work. It's the kind of event where you'll find people selling things they've actually made by hand, rather than a high-street shop. If you're into crafts, it's a good spot to see what's being produced locally and to pick up something a bit more personal than what you'd find on a shelf.

One of the best things about it is that admission is free, so there's no ticket to book or queue to join. You just turn up and wander through. Because it's on a Friday morning, it's a decent option if you're looking for something to do during the working week rather than waiting for the weekend.

It's at Crossgates Community Fair, and it runs from 10:00 to 13:00 on Friday 30 October, with free admission throughout.
