CARDIFF AT CHRISTMAS ART AND
CRAFT FESTIVAL 2008
13 November to 23 December inc

“THE BEST WALES CAN OFFER”.  In its 16th year,
“Cardiff At Christmas”, the well established
out-door art and craft stalls, organised by
Craft*folK, have moved from the Hayes and
St John’s Church area to “THE FRIARY”.
(Situated directly off Queen Street, in
the area between Superdrug/JJB Sports and
The Principality Building Society).

The Festival will open again every day from
9.30am to 6.00pm (5.00pm on Sundays), with 50 stalls hosting a rolling programme of at least 80 genuine artists and crafters selling their own work, interspersed with
a selection of specialist food and drink stalls.

Passers-by will be tempted by enamel and
pewter work, heritage images of Wales, carved
Welsh lovespoons, metalwork, photography, hand
built and pierced pottery, silver and precious stone
jewellery, pyrography, traditional wooden items and
toys, art works and cards for all occasions, specialist
knotting, leatherwork, glasswork and needlework
together with many original decorative items for
the house and garden - to name but a few !

Commission, personalise gifts or just taste the seasonal
food and drink on offer. Choose from a selection of home made Welsh fudge, whisky, wines, fruit and cream liqueurs, cheeses, fresh hot pancakes, honey roasted nuts and a traditional hog roast.

Enlarged black and white photographic images of
Wales from a bygone era may be seen depicted on
the doors of the stalls before opening and every
evening after closing.  Follow the avenue of
lights for a memorable history lesson.

Cardiff At Christmas Art and Craft Festival provides a
focus for arguably the finest shopping atmosphere
in Britain.  We look forward to seeing you there to
support the quality artists and crafters who are
keeping traditional skills alive.
