Christmas fair with locally owned creative businesses, art, and activities at the Dylan Thomas Centre.
Not Your Average Christmas Fair returns to the Dylan Thomas Centre on Saturday 5 December, running through to Sunday 6 December. It's organised by Little Bit Different, and it's become a regular part of the Swansea festive calendar, so it's one of those things that pops up around the same time every year.
The fair brings together locally owned creative businesses under one roof, and the organisers pitch it as a spot for art lovers, trade professionals, collectors and exhibition enthusiasts. That's a broad mix, but it gives you a sense of what to expect: a fair that leans more towards the creative and the crafted than the usual high-street Christmas shopping. If you're into local makers and independent businesses, it's exactly the kind of thing this is built for.

It's held at the Dylan Thomas Centre, 10 Somerset Place, Swansea, SA1 1RR, which puts it right in the heart of the city. It runs from 10:00 am on Saturday through to 3:30 pm on Sunday, so you've got the whole weekend to work around. If you're planning to make a proper afternoon of it, Saturday gives you the full day, while Sunday is a shorter run, closing up by mid-afternoon. Between the two, there's plenty of time to wander through and see what's on the stalls without having to rush.
