Expressions of interest are invited from traders wishing to be one of some 20 stallholders for a weekend outdoor fair selling the best of Manx crafts and produce in the run-up to Christmas.

Town centre manager Michelle O’Malley said: ‘The fair will once again be held along Castle Street and Marina Road on Saturday and Sunday 20th and 21st December.  They always attract the crowds and generate significant added footfall to that end of the town’s main shopping area.

‘The fair is an opportunity to bring an air of boutique shopping to Douglas so we’re looking for quality, unique hand crafted goods that define the wealth of creative talent we have in the Isle of Man and will make truly covetable Christmas gifts.’

Interested parties are asked to contact Michelle O’Malley, Douglas Development Partnership, Chesterfield House, Victoria Street, Douglas. (See also panel opposite).

Expressions of interest must be received no later than Friday 31st October.
