(Postponed) Christmas Fayre 27th November 3 pm – 7 pm on the Village Green
With much regret we have taken the decision to cancel tomorrow’s Christmas Fayre. There is a yellow weather warning in place for tomorrow with very high winds forecast. As this is a outdoor event and all the stalls are in marquees or gazebos we could not take the risk. The Parish Council are extremely disappointed to have to do this as so much work has gone into this by us and the stall holders. We are going to arrange another event at Easter when hopefully the weather will be kinder to us.
CHRISTMAS CHEER ON THE GREEN
After last year’s Covid near-cancellation of Christmas in 2020, Hartlebury can look forward to a much cheerier celebration this year, courtesy of the Parish Council. On November 27th from 3.00pm until 7.00pm on the Village Green will be the gathering place for the community to come along to the Hartlebury Christmas Fayre and witness the turning on of the lights by Stourport Town Mayor and Mayoress on the village’s first Christmas tree, an event generously supported by local business and the Parish Council.
Chair of the Parish Council Tim Ingham commented, “For some months the Council has been discussing what we can offer the community in terms of events, now that the threat of Covid is largely behind us and we can join together again. Indeed the Parish Council have been working hard to organise this event and engaging with local businesses to make this an evening to remember and hopefully it will be the start of a new annual tradition.”
Alongside the lighting of the Christmas tree on the Green, there will be a variety of stalls who will be selling crafts and gifts to suit all pockets for the keen Christmas shopper. Those more inclined to socialise can avail themselves of a drink and hot food.
Councillor Clare Atkinson, who has been the main co-ordinator of the event hopes, ‘This will be a memorable event for the village which will anticipate the Advent season with goodwill and good fun with the bonus of all proceeds going to our local Church.’
Anyone interested in finding out more about this event please take a look at the Parish Councils website and Facebook.
