Made in Cymru has launched a new Welsh craft fair directory

Made in Cyrmu has introduced a new feature to help shoppers find local markets and craft fairs. The new online directory brings together hundreds of local market events in an easy-to-use responsive calendar format. With filters allowing people to search their region, shoppers across all of Wales can now find a craft fair, market or maker’s event near them with ease.
 
The Craft Fair Directory is part of the wider mission of the popular online Welsh shopping marketplace Made in Cymru, to help promote Welsh-made products and spotlight Welsh businesses. The directory promotes everything from one-day independent artisan events to major recurring week-long markets and organisers can easily submit their events to attract more attention and more visitors. Many of the site’s talented makers are already showcasing their work at these markets and fairs, so it made sense to encourage shoppers and makers to connect online and in the real world.

Designed to work on a desktop computer for committed planners or the mobile phones of more spontaneous shoppers, the Craft Fair Directory is set to become a fantastic digital tool to promote and highlight the Welsh artisan community. Combined, the directory and Made in Cymru's website mean Welsh businesses can better reach their local community and simultaneously reach UK audiences.

Shaped by the Welsh concept of hiraeth, a deep emotional connection to place and a longing for somewhere that feels like home, the refurbishment was created in collaboration with renowned interior designer Nicola Harding, and brings together Welsh landscape, craftsmanship and storytelling across all fourteen bedrooms and the hotel's shared spaces. The final phase of the project marks the completion of a carefully considered programme. The remaining five bedrooms have been individually redesigned and named after Welsh landscapes, historical figures and mythology.

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

For couples planning a wedding, the setting is increasingly becoming more than a backdrop.

Rather than simply choosing a coastal venue and then planning the celebration independently of it, couples are increasingly allowing the landscape, changing light and relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to influence the day itself.
