It’s shaping up to be a helluva weekend.

The Ballymaloe Craft Fair takes place next weekend, November 16th-18th, with a truck-ton of cool, clever and crafty workshops to inspire visitors to try more DIY.

You can start your day with yoga in the small shed before making your own body scrub and potting your own take-home plant.

It’s basically all of our dream day-off activities, conveniently located in one spot.

Artist Annie Holland will be bringing her amazing headdresses made of single-use plastic to the Sustainable Living Fringe.

The creative will be hosting a photobooth where you can try them on, as well as activities designed to fuels ideas and inspiration on all things sustainable.
