Today, what is normally the Friends meeting house in the South Lanes is being opened out into a giant craft fair. An eclectic mix 30 local artists and crafty-types bring jewellery, textiles, hand dyed knitted clothes, mixed media, photography, silk scarves, painting and ceramics to this "extremely popular" event (in which case we advise getting there earlier to grab the best bits). We don't know too much about this, but in the last week before Christmas it sounds like a damn good place to find bits and bobs, and presents for Mothers. If you want a present that represents Brighton, this sounds like a good place to investigate - and it's also fairtrade, which we like.
Entry is free, and there's a Christmassy cafe for Dads, boyfriends, and people that don't like shopping perhaps as much as you do. Find the meeting house on Ship Street in the South Lanes - with a map here.
