After snow forced the postponement of the outdoor market planned for last December, Christmas is coming early to Longnor this year. The stalls and entertainments have been re-arranged for the Saturday of the annual Wakes Week, following the Longnor Races. The market, under the name “St. Bartholomew’s Fayre”, will be held in the Market Square in Longnor, between 11.00am and 4.00pm on Saturday 10 September 2011.

Market stalls will be selling local produce and crafts, including candles, toys, cards, cakes, pies / pastries / chutneys and jams, beads and jewellery supplies, books, pet portraits, willow baskets & sculptures, knitted and crocheted goods, bottled beers and more. A few stalls are still available – these can be booked through Gill and Richard, Tel. 01298 83738.

Entertainments will include street theatre by the Longnor Players, music and dance by Wicked Soles and Strings, and performances by local children, as well as a juggler / stilt walker / balloon modeller, bucking bronco ride, and children’s go-karts. Flash & Longnor First Responders and the engine and crew from Longnor Fire Station will also be joining us.

Come and join us for a fun-packed day!
