Made in Newcastle Christmas Market

Woo Hoo!! The MiNies are hosting a Christmas Fair on Sunday 4th Dec from 10am in the Royal Station Hotel, Neville Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 5DH. If you don't already know the hotel is next to the train station. Its a beautiful Victorian listed building and we'll be in the big function room.

We'll be offering a range of affordable, high quality, handmade Christmas gifts not available on the high street. There will be around 25 stalls offering textiles, clothing, jewellery, art, stationery and homeware designed and made by established and emerging design talent.
We want this to be an alternative and fun Christmas shopping experience where you can come browse stalls and meet local artisans, crafters and designers.

You'll find one off unique pieces and limited edition items ideal if you're looking for something a bit different and special. Prices will range from £2 to £60+ so there is something for everyone.

Proceeds from the £1 entry fee will go towards future Made In Newcastle projects, workshops, exhibitions and events.

We would really appreciate it you would RSVP our event on Facebook and help us spread the word: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=142991705793393

Goodbye 79 Grainger Street and thanks for all the fun.

Way back in December of 2010 we looked around an empty shell of a shop on Grainger Street, trying to find a new home for Made in Newcastle. We had peered into its windows many times, having fallen in love with the staircase and the large space at the back, not to mention great location.

Potential sparked and crackled off the walls. The weather was cold but a warm glow came from within 79 Grainger Street as we got to work transforming it into our new home.

It was a miraculous transformation, in as little as 10 days we brought the shop into being. We tamed the horror of the fridge on the first floor, found new ways to make floors and ended up with a cosy spot to hide and make during the long Winter months.

It's been a whirlwind ride. There's always been something going on at 79 Grainger Street, a regular hive of activity for all involved. Spring brought a nice fresh look to the shop, it was so nice to see that we picked a spot that the sun would sit on for most of the day.

During Spring we got many visitors to the shop, some new friends, some old. Some fury, some frilly.

It's hard to believe we were in there a whole six months. It went by so quickly. It felt even faster than when we were in 22 Nun Street for those short three months. Time is a funny thing. We've come a long way, we've all grown a bit in our own way.

Goodbye 79 Grainger Street. I will miss you, you crazy, messed up, brilliant shop. We will all miss you. Thanks.
