🚨 SCAMMER ALERT 🚨

Please DO NOT respond to this ‘person’ - Margaret Veale is a fake account

We have just spent the last hour reporting all their comments and posts on our page, then removing them and blocking the poster. They are a fake account and nothing to do with Crafty Duke Events.

So who are we?
Crafty Duke Events is a Craft & Artisan Events business based in Crossgates, Leeds, working tirelessly to support small businesses across Yorkshire by creating a local community space in which they can trade.

We are a husband and wife team, supervised by our mascot Duke the Corgi, and all event enquiries are handled directly through our email 👇🏻
[email protected]
We do have a waiting list and doing our best to bring you the widest variety of stalls possible, please bear with us, it’s a full-time job whilst we still have full-time jobs (that’s right, we also have a handmade business too!)

Let’s not allow these scammers to ruin our festive joy - tomorrow is our final event of 2024 and with the next one only 50 days away there’s no time to delay!

See you tomorrow! 🎅🏻🎄🎁

The fabulously talented AJ Gift Studios have had a market cancellation due to the weather🙈 while you stay nice and warm
And cosy, please continue to support them by liking their FB page and taking a browse through their products…some are even on sale!

We're home safe after Storm Bert worked his efforts on Morecambe Christmas Markets. We had decided to continue with our sale this weekend, what with the gifting season being upon us and all, so we've decided to hold it on our page instead so if there was anything that people spotted, you can still order it and we'll ship it out to you 🎅🏻

Watch out for the sale posts, we'll be adding them on throughout the evening 😘
