An Grianán Theatre's annual Christmas craft and art fair takes place this Saturday, December 2 from 10am to 4pm. 

The event features items to suit every pocket from as little as a few euro right up to that special present for that very special person in your life. Stallholders are carefully selected to provide a range of the best locally produced pottery and ceramics, textiles, batiks, fashion, jewellery, art prints and more from the finest designers, makers and artists in the North West, in a lovely atmosphere.
