Clickimin Centre, Lerwick⁠

With us, we’ll have a good selection of our Smookie jumpers (several different colourways), along with a large range of knitwear from varied collections. We hope, also, to have a few surprises to show you!

A kaleidoscope of colour and pattern.⁠

See you there?⁠

The Craft Fair

Locally known simply as ‘The Craft Fair’, Shetland Arts and Crafts Association's annual Christmas Craft Fair is a huge and busy event.

Taking over Clickimin Leisure Complex, Shetland makers – of all ages – show and sell their work to visitors from across the islands.

As well as being a great place for Christmas shopping, it's also a lovely opportunity to catch up with people. There are two cafés for between-browsing relaxation.

To give a sense of the scale and popularity of the Fair: before card machines became so easily available, cash machines in Lerwick used to run out of notes over the Craft Fair weekend!

Visiting Nielanell⁠

At the fair, you’ll find us in the Bowls Hall on stall 76.

NB The Nielanell studio shop, in Hoswick, will be closed for the duration of the fair.⁠
