In 2022, our 10th year of running Ruby’s Vintage & Retro Fair, we were given the opportunity of taking over an existing event in Old Basing – the very popular Dolly’s Artisan Fair and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed these events with such talented and passionate crafters and artisans.
However, at the end of 2024, the time had come to pass Dolly’s onto someone who can give her the time and forward thinking that we don’t have the skills to do and so that we can concentrate on adding more dates and venues to Ruby’s Vintage & Retro Fair
So Cat Paquette of Zooniverse Designs will be running events at Old Basing Village Hall from 2025 onwards under the new name of Zooniverse Makers. She she will be contacting crafters and visitors alike very soon
Her website is
and her own Instagram account where you can message her is
@zooniversedesigns
The Dolly’s Facebook page will be run by it’s previous owner, all other Dolly social media started by us will disappear under this name
