I visited this Fair for the first time on Sunday 4 December with my daughter-in-law, having seen all the advance advertising (always a good sign that an event is being run by someone who knows what they're doing!). It is not the largest event of its type that we have been to but I would say that it is definitely the most child-friendly one since Father Christmas himself was in attendance! We were greeted on arrival by an extremely good brass band and in amongst the crowds we spotted the Mayor and the Town Crier, so this is clearly THE place to be seen! The stallholders are an exceptionally talented bunch of people selling handmade crafts ranging from very reasonably priced stocking filler type gifts to the more expensive but exclusive gifts if you want to find something that 'little bit different' for your friends and family. The venue is entirely under cover, there is a café area offering drinks and snacks and there are also toilet facilities; the only downside is that the car park fills up quickly but it's definitely well worth parking in one of the nearby streets and walking if you have to. The icing on the cake is that funds were being raised for St Barnabas so you can do your bit for this local charity at the same time - see you next year!
