History

The first Welborne Christmas Fair was held at the Village Hall on Saturday 30th November 2013, and although it has only been running for a few years it has become a regular pre-Christmas event for those looking for Christmas inspiration.

The first Christmas fair, organised by Sharon Ferguson and Jackie Cooper on behalf of the Village Hall events committee, was a great success with contributions from many villagers including; handcrafted Christmas decorations, Christmas cards and calendars.  There was also a tombola, homemade cakes & a children’s Pomander making activities, all of which helped to raise the fantastic sum of £621.68 for our Village Hall!!

Many people contributed towards the success of the event by baking a cake, donating a prize, helping on the ‘crafting day’ or helping at the Fair. All help was much appreciated and contributed towards the success of the first ever Welborne Christmas Craft Fair.  More recent fairs have seen a wider variety of Christmas gifts and craft items for sale, plus the introduction of a guess the weight of the Christmas cake competition.  A competition widely anticipated by those with a sweet tooth!
