OK, so the weather is not looking promising - but if you come along to the Clare Christmas Fair this Friday and Saturday, you can be assured of a warm welcome and a complimentary cup of mulled wine to kickstart your festive spirit while you take a look at all the great things on offer from our lovely stall holders in the Church and Town Hall. There's entertainment too - and, on Saturday, the Christmas Lights Switch-On will take place on Market Hill from 3.30pm with food, street entertainment, and music from The Spark until 7pm. So bring a smile and a brolly just in case!

Apart from a couple of small errors, this was a great report on the Christmas Fair and Switch-On last week in the local press.

Some images from the Christmas Fair....more to follow.😍 Thanks to everyone who came along - both visitors and exhibitors - I hope you all enjoyed yourselves! The mulled wine went down very, very well and I've received lots of positive feedback so that makes all the hard work worthwhile. Thanks to all our volunteers and those from the Church too.😊🎄🎄🎄🎅🎅🎅

CLARE CHRISTMAS FAIR and LIGHTS SWITCH-ON 2024 – FRIDAY 29th AND SATURDAY 30th NOVEMBER
The Christmas Fair has become a successful and much-loved local event over the last few years, growing in size and reputation and bringing in visitors from far and wide.
With around 70 exhibitors in the Parish Church and the Town Hall, you will find a wealth of ideas for your Christmas shopping. These range from decorative ceramics, glass, artworks, floristry and children’s books and games to festive fare and drinks, natural soaps, jewellery and accessories, plus many lovely crafted items from our talented and creative stall holders. There will be some fabulous hand-sewn characterful dolls and bears, traditional wooden toys and lots of Christmas decorations as well.
As well as the traditional mulled wine and mince pies on offer on both days to help raise funds for the Church, we have two cafes on site, one in each venue, where you can warm up with some delicious hot food or relax with coffee and cake before continuing with your browsing and gift shopping.
There will also be various entertainments on both days, including Father Christmas and Face Painting on Saturday, and from c4pm, there will be dancing by the Beau Dance team, live music from Serena Grant, a stunt bike display, a roundabout, Hells Bells Morris and the Children’s Parade, culminating in the Christmas Lights Switch-On on Market Hill at 6pm.
The Fair will be open on Friday 29th November from 5 – 8pm and on Saturday 30th from 10am – 7pm. More information and details will be available on the website - www.clarechristmasfair.co.uk – and will be posted on Facebook and Instagram nearer the time.
So do put the dates in your diary now so you and your family don’t miss out and we look forward to seeing you!

The New Clare Christmas Lights
If you haven't seen Hells Bells dance, you've missed a real treat. On Saturday they will be in the church at 3.30pm, on Market Hill at 4.30, and in the Town Hall at 5pm, before a final fling on Market Hill again after the Switch-On....😀
