Christmas Craft Fair – Update and Invitation to Get Involved

June 22, 2026

Saturday 7th November

Hello everyone, I promised an update on the Christmas Craft Fair after Easter—and how quickly that time has flown!


I’ve been genuinely encouraged by the enthusiasm from so many of you, with a number of stalls already confirmed and several kind offers to help on the day, for which I’m very grateful. I’m also reaching out to crafters beyond our parish community to ensure we have a wide variety of crafts available, and I’ll be attending a local craft fair next month to gather ideas and inspiration for our own event.


Several people have offered to make items but would prefer not to run a stall, so if you would like to host a stall but don’t have crafts to sell, please do get in touch—I’d be very happy to match you up. We are also planning a raffle during the fair, so donations of prizes would be most welcome; we already have a generous offer of a homemade Christmas cake to get us started.


I will share further updates over the summer, and in early September I’ll arrange a meeting so we can put a more detailed plan in place. Thank you again to everyone who has been in touch and for the enthusiasm shown in helping make this a successful event for our parish.


For any queries, please contact us via the parish office.

A national Catholic schools Art Competition is being held in the lead-up to Adoremus 2026 (Saturday 10 October), inviting young people to reflect creatively on themes such as the Blessed Sacrament, the presence of Jesus, and the beauty of our cathedrals. Entries are open to ages 6–18, with a winner in each age group and an overall prize, and should be submitted by 15 September 2026 . We warmly encourage schools and pupils to take part in this opportunity to pray, imagine, and create.
