Christmas Fair November 2024

 

A date for the diary is our 2024 Christmas Fair.

It will be taking place on Saturday 30 November 1-3pm in the Parish Centre.

As well as raising funds, it is a fun event with:

  • Stalls selling lovely items, perfect for Christmas presents
  • Father Christmas usually comes along to join the fun and give out some early Christmas gifts
  • Refreshments and festive music
  • A tombola, sweetie jarbolla and guess the name
  • A raffle with the opportunity to win some lovely prizes
  • A chance to purchase from our pre-loved toys and jigsaw stalls

If you are interested in having a stall at the fair then please contact the Parish Office for details. The charge will be £20 a stall/table.

We will need lots of help to make the fair a success, so if you are able to help then please let us know. We will need volunteers on the day, donations for our raffle and tombolas, donations of baked goods and donations of good quality toys and jigsaws for our pre-loved stalls. Further detail will follow.

But most of all, we look forward to seeing you there……
