who came along to our Spring Fair and made it another enjoyable evening. As you can see from the photos below, there were some great designers showcasing their work. With a host of new designers and new work from established designers showing us their amazing handcrafted talents. 

Local ceilidh band, The Stowicks were playing on the night with their beautiful and relaxing folk music. Also taking the stage was Jerome Anderson and his dance partner showing us their Jive and Lindy Hop moves, in a fast and fun packed performance. Jerome's world of swing is a six week introduction to jive course taking place at x7eaven studios on the Lea Bridge Road, the routines looked amazing and strangely achievable so if you're interested then go to www.jeromelanderson.com or call on 07931 507760.
