Is it really almost a week ago? A huge thank you to everyone who helped, donated raffle prizes, baked cakes, helped set up and clear away, took a stall or just came to support our Winter Wonderland Fair last Saturday. It was much appreciated!
The whole event was relaxed and enjoyable and in terms of fundraising was a big success, with takings of over £2100 before expenses, so it will be a big boost for PA funds. Most of our 50+ stallholders had a good day and are keen to come to our summer fete next May.
We hope you all enjoyed this event as much as we did – and thanks again! More pictures of the Fair were on the blog last weekend.

We’ve got snow, we’ve got elves, we’ve got Santa (till 1pm), we’ve got face-painting and crafts….there’s a pop-up restaurant, tea and cakes….and over 50 stalls of seasonal gorgeousness. So if you are anywhere near Hethersett today, come on down before 3pm today! These pictures were taken just as we opened at 10 this morning and it’s already getting busy! Free entry and free parking.
After months of planning and preparation by our PA, and generous donations from you, our Winter Wonderland Fair is almost here. It’s tomorrow in the Sports Hall, in fact…and it promises to be a fantastic day! Come and browse 50 + stalls selling everything from handmade crafts and gifts to artisan food, beauty products, books, flowers, plants, home items, Christmas decorations and more. There will be craft activities for children, hot food and cakes, a raffle with lots of great prizes …and children can have an early chat with Santa for £1 including a small gift and sweets. The event itself is free and open to everyone – 10.00am-3.00pm. Tell your friends !
