We are looking for designers, makers and creatives who live or work in Folkestone and the surrounding areas to submit work for our 2023 Christmas-Not-Christmas Design + Art Fair.

Our Christmas-Not-Christmas Design + Art Fair focuses on objects that are both beautiful and functional. It is a celebration of creativity in the area and champions shopping locally during the festive season.

We are looking for a variety of items that will appeal to a wide range of people. Including (but not limited to): Ceramics, Clothing, Books, Candles, Home Decor, furniture, Stationary and Creative Kits. No artworks on paper please.

As a CIC, all profits we make go straight back into the running of the space. We are suggesting a minimum of 25% commission on items sold during the fair. If you are able to contribute a larger commission, we would greatly appreciate it. Also if you’d like to be involved but a 25% commission is a barrier for you, please contact us, we will always do what we can to accommodate.

If you are interested in being involved, please send images of your work (square format, 800×800, 72dpi, on a plain background), a link to your website and/or instagram, along with a guide to pricing to: info@fourthwallfolkestone.co.uk by 10am on Thursday 19 October.

UPDATE: Deadline extended! Due to a number of queries from makers in other parts of Kent, we have decided to extend the deadline to Thursday 26 October and open it out to all of Kent.
