Our annual Christmas fair is the main fundraising event for the great cause that is Thornage Hall.
We host dozens of stalls which give lots of choice for festive gifts, as well as our popular tombola and raffle.
This year we return to Godwick Great Barn for the 20th (evening) and the 21st (day) of November.
The Wednesday evening ticket (6-9pm) is £15 and includes a glass of fizz and canapés, while the Thursday day ticket (9am-3pm) is £5 on the door.
All the proceeds of the entry, tombola and raffle tickets go to Thornage Hall.
