Our church Summer Fair, which usually takes place sometime around Midsummer Day, will this year be taking place on Saturday, September 4th. We were not able to hold a summer fair at all last year because of Covid-19 restrictions so as we reflected on the current situation we thought it was worth pushing the event back slightly for 2021.Meanwhile we have been running pop-up stalls on Saturdays at 10am outside the church hall in the High Street, offering items on a particular theme as well as bakes each session. Future dates are June 12th (CDs, DVDs, PS games etc), June 26th (tidal treasures and furniture), July 17th (regifted items), July 24th (kids stuff), July 31st (plants), August 7th (jewellery and accessories), August 14th (special occasions - including stationery and candles), August 21st (wood 'n' bitz), August 28th (tidal treasures and furniture)
