Why not come and see us all at this very special and unique event in a few days time, on Saturday 12th October! There will be 21 truly wonderful miniaturist artisans and antique/vintage dolls house sellers. Many of them usually attend just the large national fairs, so I am extremely grateful for their support. It really will be a special day!
Some I have known for years, and some I only know by reputation but I thank them all for supporting this event. For a full list of stand holders and further information, please see the promotional page, CLICK HERE.
What is CRY?
What is CRY?
As
organiser, KT Miniatures is donating 50% of any profit made from organising
this event to this wonderful charity CRY. It stands
for Cardiac Risk in the Young. The charity's vision as a
whole is "to prevent young sudden cardiac deaths through
awareness, screening and research, and supporting affected families." To
find out more about the charity, see their website:
Reg. Charity No. 1050845
Grand Charity Raffle
There will be a Grand Raffle in aid of CRY, with some gorgeous miniature prizes already donated by UK miniaturists, some can be seen above. Tickets will be priced at £1.00 and will only be available at the event.
Plus....we will have a Vintage Tea Room provided by Time For Tea, and the owner Charlotte Cavanagh has pledged to donate 10% of all profit made on the day to the charity too. So a huge thank you to Charlotte!
The Venue - Thame Barns Centre
Thame Barns Centre is situated in the historic part of Thame, in Oxfordshire. It was built from the ruins of an old farm, right next to the 13th Century church and the old Grammar school, which dates back to the 15th century. Thame itself is a quaint old town, filled with some amazing award winning restaurants, shops, etc. and the Thame Museum is just literally around the corner from this venue. If you are a fan of Midsomer Murders, you will recognise many of the buildings as Thame has been used in the long running tv programme for years.
PARKING. Please note that there is only limited and restricted parking at the venue, so it is highly recommended that you park down Priest End, which is the road that runs along the old church and Prebendal. And then simply take a shortcut through the churchyard to the Barns Centre (past Robin Gibb's grave from the BeeGees - as he lived in the Prebendal on the other side of the road). Alternatively there are several car parks in the town centre, which are just a short walk away. More info about parking can be found on the promotional page:

Why am I supporting CRY?
Without warning one November night in 2017, my previously healthy
daughter Kate suddenly collapsed from a cardiac arrest. To find out more about the girls who saved Kate's life -Click Here
Thankfully she
was part of the 8% who survive, when many are not so lucky. But once out of
hospital, there seemed to be no support network geared up for young cardiac
patients, then someone mentioned CRY to us. Through CRY Kate met other young
people who had been through similar experiences as herself, and this helped her
greatly. We have found
CRY to be an amazing charity and brilliant at helping young people with cardiac
conditions, plus their families. Half of everyone's admission fee is being donated to CRY, so just by coming to the event you will be helping the charity.
