Pretty dull, glad we didn't pay. A couple of festive stalls the rest JLM style with a handful of local stalls. Not really the Christmas Market we hoped. Also the majority of stall holders not wearing masks, with the amount of OAPs we have all gone through lockdowns for you'd think they would be more conscious at Super spreader events like this

COVID booster today. This venue is amazing, the volunteers and staff are freindly and helpful. Quick and efficient. A testament to the NHS vaccination programme

Really good Christmas Fair. New venue better as more room. Parking easy & well organised. Lots of great stalls with plenty of variety to suit all tastes & budgets. Definitely worth a visit.
