Day one of Christmas Country Fair a massive hit!

The fair serves as a fundraiser for The Christmas Fair Fund, with all funds raised channelled to various worthy charity projects.

Moving to The Manor House as its new venue, this year’s 71st annual Christmas Country Fair is likely to attract a much larger attendance than usual – weather permitting.

By 10am on the opening day today (Thursday), fair chairlady Gaby Lyle reported that about 1 000 people had already visited.
