Maybe you're one of those people who like to know what to expect before you organize a day out. If so, for a list of exhibitors you can click here. And for prices plus opening times click here. For what it's worth, I like the look of the Mid-Cornwall Galleries and their art (right), but the choices go on and on and on.

There's also a host of (free) art related activities for children, if you're off spending your money and desire that your offspring are amused. In fact, on your way to the fair, look out for brightly coloured hoops dotted around tree trunks: that's the work of French artist Marie Denis and is called Bambino. The idea is that you pick up those hoops and wiggle with them. Now that's the kind of art I like.

There is also a cafe where the artist in residence will be illustrating cup cakes and edible delicacies on the wall as you eat. Cafes are important at these events, which is why SB points it out. NB there is also a wine bar, if you are more hard core.

There you go - your weekend plans are covered. And here I am, as usual, joyously championing others. What a beatific life Shopping Bag must lead!
