Oriel Môn is preparing to launch its popular annual Christmas Craft Fair next week.

Since opening in 1991, the arts centre in Rhosmeirch has been supporting both local and national craftworkers by giving them the chance to exhibit and sell their work in the run-up to the festive season.

Items on sale range from fine jewellery, furniture, ceramics, woodwork, soaps and candles, soft furnishings, glass and textiles to fun and quirky Christmas decorations.

The museum prides itself especially on showing and selling high-quality handmade and unique products.

Nicola Gibson, visitor experience manager at Oriel Môn, said: "The Craft Fair is an event that we all look forward to at the Oriel and marks the beginning of Christmas for us. We pride ourselves on the quality and range of wares on sale here."

"Each year, we showcase the work of new and exciting makers alongside regular favourites ensuring that there is always something new and exciting to discover".

The craft fair will be officially opened on Friday 8th November at 6pm with contemporary mulled wine and mince pies on offer at the launch.

Admission is free with Oriel Môn open between 10am and 5pm from Tuesday to Sunday.

The Christmas Craft Fair will remain open until 12.30pm on Christmas Eve, when Oriel Môn will be closing until Friday 27th December.

Alongside the craft fair, there'll be a wreath making workshop on Tuesday 26th November from 1-4pm (cost £45) and a festive candle arrangement workshop on Friday 13th December from 2-4pm (cost £37). Prices include all materials and refreshments.
