Youngsters Isaac and Faith Young (pictured) are eagerly waiting to see Santa at the Christmas Fair being held at the Portman Hall in Shillingstone.
Jasmine Young, proud mum of the toddlers, is busy putting the final touches to the fair being staged on Sunday 27 November from noon-4pm.
Stalls will sell hand-crafted wooden items, original artwork, jewellery, candles, cards, Christmas items and lots more. The event will also feature a main raffle, Christmas cake raffle, lucky bags, treasure hunt games – and the school’s PTA will be organising Christmas crafts for children.
Festive food will also be on offer and Debby Cole, of Absolute Catering, will be serving aromatic spiced mulled wine.
The parish council will present the village’s Jubilee Cup to this year’s winner, who has been voted for by the community.
The fair is sponsored by Acorn Builders. Funds raised will go to the Shillingstone Coronation Commemorative Fund.
