hi all!
don't usually chat that much but I have a nose when feeding DS or if I need to be cheered up!
Forgive me this is the closest topic thing I can find!

Ok I need some help!

I am an events organiser - job speaks for itself - I sort out stuffs!

anyways I have been off for a bit on maternity leave now I'm back a bit I have decided to do some local events, the area is a quietish place could do with abit of energy
injecting into the place.

So far so good I have an event on Thursday
fully booked shopping event few local people coming along showing their wares.
craft shop, florist, jewellery,clothing,giftware it's a small affair in a local bar.
all is well and good I'm nervous but pleased with the response.

In a while though I am looking to book a huge ( 4 badminton court size) hall size
for a fun day.
I have a balloon maker personage bouncy castle and face painter etc
what I need is some more ideas for vendors
so over to you guys...
I take on party plan like Avon et al or independant sellers who say "create their own" -
who is lighting your fire at the mo?
any shiny new party planners who need a boost?

I'm based in Desborough Northants so they would need to be nearby

any new lines considered my latest take on is a guy who does chainsaw art!

Thanks in advance running off to eat but be floating about later!

What about Mini IQ? They do nice kiddies books. I'm sure you can't find a party planner nearby via their website.

How about Phoenix cards? They are good quality and a reasonable price. I'm sure there will be a seller or two locally.

SparklingSarah · 19/04/2009 19:37

Yes I have a rep from there coming

chocolate for chocoholics do party plan maybe worth a look for a local seller

twinklytoes · 19/04/2009 20:54

these guys are pretty close and used to do market stands etc. not sure if they are still doing this but its worth an email. the owner is also known to mn and has post here before.

twinklytoes · 19/04/2009 20:55

and another but don't have a link though - paint your own pottery = they visit our local soft play once a month and do pretty well. might be worth search for a local one.
