If you're an artist, crafter, maker, bathbomb baker or any other kind of creative genius, I just wanted to let you know there are stalls available to sell your fine wares in the run up to Christmas.
This is part of the Manchester Roller Derby* festive bout Mistletoe & Grime held at the Sugden Centre in Manchester City Centre (just near Oxford Rd train station and the BBC). Where else do you get to have a stall with a roller derby match thrown in for good measure?
If you're interested, the details are as follows...
Dec 17th
Doors open at 1 (get-in earlier to set up)
6 foot trestle table provided
£15
Ends 6pm

*My team - very proud.
Top tips:
The last bout attracted over 200 people, mostly 20 and 30 somethings (women and men) but also some children and proud parents / grandparents too. A mix of alternative and professional types, so quite a broad audience.
My hunch is that lower priced items are going to go best here, under £20. Don't let that stop you with the big stuff, show off your grandeur proudly of course - but if you're after sales, that would be my instinct.
There's a pattern to the flow of the event - busy at open doors, then again in between the two bouts and smaller half time slots - so a good mix of hectic and giving you a breather.
There is a cash machine very close to the venue, so if people pull sad faces and tell you they have spent up, don't be shy to let them know it's less than two minutes away...
Lastly, sadly I think cakes and jewellery are out of the question because Manchester Roller Derby will be there with its own excellent cake stall and jewellery wares, and let's face it you don't want to get on the wrong side of a bunch of folks with names like Skulldozer, Psycho-Sis and McDie now do you?
ps or you could just buy tickets and come and watch the bout / buy things from the nice stall holders too, that would also be marvellous...
