A local Craft and Gift Fair is returning to the Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel in Bolton, Greater Manchester, on Sunday 22 March 2026. Organised by JP Events, the market will bring together local artisans, makers, and small businesses from across the area to sell unique handmade goods.

The event is set to run from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm at the hotel located in Blackrod. This fair marks the first time that JP Events has hosted a market at this specific venue during the 2026 season.

Shoppers will be able to browse a wide variety of products from independent traders. The organisers designed the fair to give local creators a place to reach customers while providing residents with a chance to find one-off gifts and support small businesses.

The hotel frequently hosts community activities and large functions for the surrounding area. Visitors can expect a range of stalls featuring crafts and gifts from traders based in and around the Bolton community.
