Virtual Artisan Village
Cercedilla (Madrid)
From 22 till 24 May 2024
Arts and Crafts Fair
On the last weekend of May we will set up an interesting fair around the Plaza de Toros. There we will exhibit and sell our Signature Crafts®, we will work on our crafts and share workshops with the children.
There will be demonstrations of forging, pottery and loom weaving. Children can make their own crafts in the workshops, ride the carousel or have fun with board games.
Inside the Bullring there will be exhibitions on how to make sculptures with a chainsaw, of "tiro y arrastre" (horses pulling a weight through loose sand) and sheep shearing, a game of tag will be played and there will be live traditional music.
If you have visited the fairs that we held in 2018 and 2019 in Plaza Nueva, you know that everything we offer is made with our own hands. We are happy that several artisans from the Association of Artisans and Artists of Cercedilla will participate again.
The photos on this page are from the 2019 fair.
