There was a huge range of crafts and gifts for all Christmas needs on offer with a wide range of stalls on the day from all of our local crafters. The charity beneficiary of this year's event was St Christopher’s Special School.

The craft fair is organised by Olive Quinn and Ann Devlin. There was also free children's competition on the day and of course the renowned raffle with a fabulous hamper as first prize. Those in attendance had lots of fun, and refreshments were available.
