2024 Marks our 10th Anniversary, obviously we’ll be marking the event with a special craft fair. We hope to see you there!

Background

Helensburgh & Lomond Artisans Association was established in 2014 by four local crafters who felt there was a need for more affordable and regular events to market & sell locally crafted wares.

It was felt important to curate events to help keep customers engaged by ensuring there was a mix of artists & crafters.

In addition to the events, a Facebook group was established to help members network, ask & give advice, as well as share other events of potential interest.

The group was also open to feedback from attendees, to help improve future events – something which many felt unable to do with other events. It also helped nuture the community spirit of the group.

It has always been important to keep costs low for our members as such we began & remain a not-for-profit organisation with fees taken predominantly to cover costs & to advertise the events.
