Sincerely Yours shows join the Crafting Realm diary

The Leigh, Thetford and Newark shows are now listed alongside the Birmingham paper craft shows. Nothing about the shows themselves changes.

From this autumn, the craft shows run as Sincerely Yours at Leigh Sports Village, Breckland Leisure Centre and Newark Showground are listed and sold under the Crafting Realm name, in one diary with the Paper Craft & Stamping Shows at the National Motorcycle Museum.

We want to be plain about what this does and does not mean.

It does not change the shows. Same halls, same dates, same doors at 9.30am, same people taking your ticket, same traders. Children under 14 still come in free with an adult, and the ticket hotline is still 07976 778928.

It does change how you find them. Two websites became one, so if you are willing to travel there are now thirteen shows to choose from rather than seven. And the new site tells you who is trading before you set off, which is the thing we were asked for most often.

Any ticket bought before the change is still valid. If anything looks wrong, ring us.

Tickets are now bought and issued here too. The checkout is on our own site, there is no account to create, and your tickets arrive by email within seconds with a QR code for each person. If you have not bought one this way before, here is exactly what to expect, at the checkout and on the day.
