We are partnered on the Liverpool Design Festival

For visitors from Liverpool to the Oxton Art Fair 7th and 8th of November

If you click on this post's heading it will take you to our listing with the Liverpool Design Festival programme,we are partnered with the Liverpool-wide festival, with various events around the city and us. If you are unsure of how to get to the Williamson Art Gallery from Liverpool, please look at my previous postings. There are several train stations within about 15 minutes walk of the gallery, Hamilton Square, Conway Park, Birkenhead Park or Central Station. With a bus station nearest to Conway Park, if you plan to take a bus that is probably the best station to get off at. There are also buses through the tunnel. For a pleasant walk, you take the train to Birkenhead Park and walk diagonally though Birkenhead Park and up Slatey Road. Or you could come by ferry to Woodside and get a bus or taxi. Best bet is to get in touch with MerseyTravel for a route that suits your needs!

Taxis from the train station would probably be about £4.

As well as visiting our show, you might care to walk into Oxton Village to visit the shops, pubs and cafes but don't forget we will have a lovely cafe offered by The Green Community Shop and Centre and Green Eats on Saturday and by Pete's deli with the The Green Community Shop on Sunday. We will have music from Rebecca Joy Sharp on the harp on Saturday and from Henry Bird on Sunday. We will also be offering a new service via Wirral Environmental Network who will wrap any of your purchases for you for a small fee in recycled eco wrapping.

Following on from the previous entry. I also need 200 words

Bearing in mind it is an eco design fair and Liverpool Design Festival, there are reasons for my inclusions of a few peoples names (including my own) but can not include everyone. I would like feedback from all participating exhibitors of 2009 and anyone good at proof reading

"The Oxton Artists wish to tempt you across the water to the Williamson Art Gallery near the beautiful village of Oxton, just beyond Birkenhead. The Oxton Art Fair has a wonderful reputation of showing a mixture of artists who show regularly in Liverpool and beyond, and those who only exhibit with the Oxton Art Fair, showing a balance of traditional and contemporary art and photography alongside craft and design while offering a relaxed, friendly environment to talk to and buy directly from 20 local artists, designers and craftspeople with our lovely fair Trade café offered by local charity The Green Community Shop and Centre. There will be artist demonstrations throughout the weekend. We are delighted that we have selected 3 new Oxton Artists this year to join us in addition to the return of past exhibitors as well as new collaborations between exhibitors. We have several craftspeople offering the best in eco design – Alison Bailey Smith will be launching her new range of eco accessories called “Junk Jewellery”, Judith Brown will showing her range of jewellery that incorporates vintage buttons and buckles, as well as collage work by Eimear Kavanagh and Lynda Roberts"

50 words to describe the Oxton Art Fair

I am doing the wording for our partnering with the Liverpool Design Festival and need some feedback on the wording

"6th Annual Oxton Art Fair at the Williamson Art Gallery in Birkenhead offers a relaxed, friendly opportunity to talk to and buy directly from 20 local artists, designers and craftspeople with a Fairtrade café and artist demonstrations. There will 3 new Oxton Artists this year in addition to past exhibitors as well as new collaborations between exhibitors"
