More details below:

PRIMA Craft Theatre

Come and visit the Prima team in their Craft Demonstration Area. With the help of their sponsor Canon you can find out how you can add some extra special creative touches to your Christmas celebrations this year. The demonstrations are free and there's no need to book. Pick up your timetable on the day or before at www.allaboutyou.com

Canon will be showing you how to use their SELPHY Compact Photo Printers and then, from the photos, how to create calendars, personalised decorations, cards and gift tags - all essential this Christmas. Their experts will also be on hand to give you hands on demonstrations and great show offers!

British Toymakers Guild (NEC only)

The British Toymakers Guild will be returning to Crafts for Christmas at the NEC Birmingham again this year due to popular demand! The Guild has been promoting excellence in the design and manufacture of toys since its formation in l956 and their members represent some of the very best independent Toy Makers currently working in this country. Visitors will discover an exciting range of traditional & contemporary toys - everything from nursery toys right up to sought-after items for adult collectors (after all, sometimes toys are far too good to be limited to children!) and everything in-between.

'Sometimes traditional toys are not just for Christmas - they are truly tomorrow's heirlooms today.' More information about the Guild can be found on their website www.toymakersguild.co.uk

Festive Food & Drink

Tempt your tastebuds and indulge your senses in the Specialist Food Aisle which will be bursting with a wide variety of exquisite foods. Even the strongest willed could struggle to make it through this splendid area without trying one of the delicious delicacies on offer!

All this and more!
