strawberry fair Strangford on Thursday

Strawberry fair is a craft shop/gallery situated in Strangford run by Sian Maxwell it's an Aladdin's cave of really good taste. It's more like a store you would find in New York than Northern Ireland. Locally produced goods and lots of fair trade items show that not only does Sian have taste but she also has a social responsibility streak in her.

In the run up to Christmas she is opening Thursday to Saturday 11-1 and 2-5pm but this Thursday she is having a special opening 4.30 -9pm where you can have a glass of punch and a leisurely shopping experience. At the back of the shop she has a gallery space and is starting to get a reputation for identifying certain artists that evoke a particular kind of inner spirit. Well worth the trip down in the run up to the winter solstic.
