Christmas Fair

We welcome you to join us on Sunday 4 December 2022 at the Berrick and Roke Village Hall from 2-4 pm to start the festive season with our village Christmas Fair!

Follow Santa through the village! Children (and all ages!) are invited to put on fancy dress and follow Santa, who will be arriving by tractor-trailer, leaving Rokemarsh around 1:30pm, travelling eastwards through Roke towards the Home Sweet Home, then westwards back into Berrick Salome, arriving at the Village Hall by 2pm. Prizes will be awarded for the best fancy dress!

There'll be something for all the family! On sale in the hall you will be able to buy gifts and decorations, as well as enjoying a chat over refreshments: tea, coffee, cakes, savouries, mince pies and mulled wine. Outside, sharp-eyed children will be challenged to follow another one of Suzanne's 'Christmas Trails' around the field. And Santa himself will, of course, welcome young people visiting him on his special Santa Trailer.

After singing some of our favourite carols the Grand Draw for the Christmas Raffle will take place around 4pm - there is a range of excellent seasonal prizes to win! Tickets will be on sale throughout the village and will also be available to purchase on the day.

If you would like to contribute to the cake stall, please bring a cake or any other Christmassy foodie item to the Hall before 2pm.

(Please note: weather updates will be posted at www.berricksalome.org.uk )
