Virtual Artisan Village
Villanueva del Pardillo (Madrid)
12, 13 and 14 July
Arts and Crafts Fair
Around the Plaza Mayor (in the streets Mister Lodge y García Morato) we will set up an Arts and Crafts fair with craft demonstrations and many stalls in which we sell only our own work.
For children we offer workshops, soap bubble shows, a merry-go-round and a corner with board games.
We organize a contest of unique pieces, made by the participants and we invite you to vote for the piece that you like most.
We open on Friday, the 12th of July from 6 till 11 in the evening, on Saturday from 11 am till 2 pm and from 6 till 11 pm and on Sunday from 11 am till 2 pm and from 6 till 9 pm.
The photographs shown on this page are from the fair we organized here in November 2022.
Programme
In coordination with the town council we have decided not to open this afternoon, so that everyone, both the public and the artisans, can stay at home to watch live how Spain is doing in the Wimbledon and Euro Cup finals.
The craft demonstration are given in the stalls of the corresponding artisans.
