Phoenix Cinema is opening doors for a Christmas film-themed fair – Apply for a stall now! Whether you paint or make quilts, knit or screen print, make jewellery or arrange wreaths – if you can draw inspiration from film, we’d like to hear from you.

We’re looking for arts and crafts sellers who have works that incorporate film and cinema, whether the works are dedicated to a beloved Christmas movie, capture the cinematic experience or relate to a moment in cinema’s history.

Works can also be linked to the Phoenix Cinema itself: based in North London’s East Finchley, we are one of the oldest continuously running independent cinemas in the UK, and a registered charity.

If you’re looking for inspiration and haven’t visited us before, come by for a cuppa or a chat with our friendly staff.

Accepted media: painting, illustration, print, photography, jewellery, ceramics, glass, collage, textile. We also welcome art books (film/cinema-linked), greeting cards, pins & badges, flower/wreath arrangements, Christmas decorations, candles, etc.

No AI generated works accepted. All works must be hand-made and safe for purchase.

Location: Phoenix Cinema, East Finchley, 52 High Road N2 9PJ
