Blind Date with a Book

To keep books out of landfill , SoLo Craft Fair will be treating guests to a 'Blind Date with a Book'... what on earth does this mean I hear you cry?!

Well, the concept is simple (if not a little abstract) - members of the SoLo Craft Fair team will set up camp inside their shop in Elephant and Castle with a selection of 'blind' books on display.

Blind books are books with their covers hidden under wrapping paper, with only a few written details describing what you can expect from your book date. Everyone who comes can choose a book based purely on its 'personality'. Will you be choosing a dangerous, classic or romantic date? And what's better still, it will be free to meet your date and take them home with you! (If you have any 'dates' at home that you no longer feel the spark with, feel free to bring them and swap for a new model - this is encouraged in this new line of dating but you are welcome to turn up completely unattached!)

With our 'Blind Dates with a Book' we plan to bring a bit of cheer to the community. All books will be second hand so the concept is completely sustainable and doesn't cost anything to those taking part.

What's better still, one of the books will contain a £10 SoLo Craft Fair voucher to spend in the shop if you pick the lucky book!

The SoLo Craft Fair Shop will be open, showcasing the designs of over 60 makers, and Little Louie's Cafe and wine bar will be open serving coffee and cocktails if you fancy a refreshment whilst you're there.

Books will be available on a first come first served basis, so arrive early to avoid disappointment!

You can find the SoLo Craft Fair Shop at Elephant Stores, 14 Ash Avenue, Elephant and Castle, SE17 1GQ.
