Paper Daisy

31 Oct, 2024

Join Paper Daisy at the British Engineerium as they kick off their season of Winter Makers Fairs, as a piece of Brighton & Hove’s History comes alive again. 

After being closed for nearly 20 years for repairs and renovation, the magnificent British Engineerium, which was once responsible for supplying water to the whole of Brighton & Hove, has re-opened its doors. Paper Daisy’s Winter Makers Fair will be the first public event held there since becoming a Lifestyle and Wellbeing Centre run by The Happy Campus.

In addition, visitors will have the opportunity to stroll around the beautifully restored Museum to see all its mechanical engineering antiquities – a perfect day combining local community, art & history. The High Victorian Gothic buildings are a prominent landmark in Hove, with their towering 95-foot chimney. The industrial architecture of the former Coal Storage Shed, is the perfect backdrop to complement the Fair.

Featuring 85 talented exhibitors each day, attendees can expect to discover high quality, unique and original artists, makers & designers with an array of diverse, contemporary and traditional products set in a festive atmosphere. The Winter Makers Fair promises to be an exciting opportunity to connect with local independent businesses, meet the makers and learn about their craft.

In addition, there will be a specialist small batch food & drink area located on the mezzanine floor, ideal for picking up a variety of seasonal & specialty gourmet gifts. There is also an outside covered food & bar area, where a break can be taken from all the shopping and exploring.

“We are so excited to breathe new life into this historical space and provide a platform for creative small businesses to showcase their talents. This event is not just about shopping; it’s a celebration of creativity, community, and history.” says Bryony Reynolds, Event Organiser.

Paper Daisy’s busy Winter/Christmas schedule continues over the following three weekends at different venues, each offering different exhibitors and attractions. Free entry to all.
