Marlay Craft Centre

I really liked the Marlay Craft Centre I must say, its a great place to grab a bit to eat on a Saturday. The only thing I thought that was disappointing was the number of craft stalls was quite low. Don’t get me wrong, its a great place to grab some food, but if you are looking for a lot of craft stalls, you will be disappointed.
I am hoping that the number of craft stalls will increase for Christmas! :D

In a gorgeous court yard in Marlay park you will find lots of little craft workshops, so fitting in their surroundings. they are right beside marlay house and you imagine that all of these crafts could have been going on here for hundreds of years (which they werent, sorry to disappoint!). the types of craft shops you will find are weaving, glass cutting, bookbinding, furniture restoration, copper craft, pottery, jewellery and embroidery. my favourite of these is the coppercraft shop because you can get those really cute little copper shoes that are actually baby shoes dipped in copper, how sentimental is that? The centre is well worth a visit for a browse.
