The Fairy Tale Fair heads online

However, due to coronavirus pandemic the Brighton based event has been forced to move online.

The event will take place on The Fairy Tale Fair's Facebook event and Instagram story.

Claire Montgomery, founder of the fair, said "The fair that had been cancelled was Worthing based, but we feature people from all over Sussex.

"The event will feature more than 20 of our talented independent makers with new products and exclusive offers. We'll also have some special guests and musical performances as well as a giveaway. The themes will include dad's day gifts, summer loving, self care, motivation and rainbows."

Founded in 2012 in a small village hall the fair has since gone onto grow across many venues across Sussex and won best market and community event in the UK twice.

She added "We were very sad early in the year to cancel our Easter fair which would have been in aid of St Barnabas House Cancer Hospice.

"Since 2015 we have raised over £20,000 for them, and hope to be back at Christmas instead to continue our fundraising efforts. We were very grateful to have received backing from The Arts Council England recently to enable us to stay afloat during these challenging times and return with our family craft fairs when its safe to do so."

The event will be held 11am until 2pm.
