Memorial Christmas Tree Fayre - 11:30am to 1:30pm on Saturday 30th November 2024

Members of the local community have organised a Christmas tree that anyone can hang a decoration on to remember a loved one. We have offered our front gargen as a good place for this tree to be placed. A memorial event will take place on Saturday 30th November from 11:30am to 1:30pm. There will be refreshments including mince pies, a second-hand toy stall and someone from St Luke's Hospice to talk about their important work.
