The village of Minskip near Boroughbridge is holding a special Christmas Gift Fayre and concert next weekend.
All proceeds from the Fayre, which will be held in Minskip Village Hall on Saturday 6th December, will go to St John’s Church in the village.
There will be a number of different stalls with all kinds of Christmas gifts, ranging from specially made toys and decorations to stocking fillers and plants.
There will also be a tombola and a wonderful variety of refreshments, including delicious homemade cakes. Cash only.
One of the main organisers Debbie Hargreaves said:
“Minskip’s Christmas Fayre, together with our annual Scarecrow competition, is putting our little village on the map.
“As last year, it is going to be an extra special occasion, with a free concert given by the splendid Boroughbridge Love Pop Choir.
“There’s no doubt that there will be a number of fantastic bargains. The fayre will also be great fun, an early celebration of Christmas.”
The Minskip Christmas Gift Fayre will be followed by the Boroughbridge Love Pop Choir’s Christmas Concert, which will be held in the church itself.
Entrance to both events is free, with the Fayre starting at 1pm and the concert at 4pm.
She added:
“All proceeds from the Fayre will go towards our little church, which, like so many rural churches, is desperately in need of money.
“Apart from raising money for the church, this Christmas Fayre is a brilliant way of creating and enhancing community spirit within Minskip.
“We pride ourselves on being a friendly and welcoming village and the fayre is a great example of this.
“I’d like to thank all the members of the Minskip Church Council. They are committed to our local community and we are very grateful to them.”
Debbie continued:
“I’m sure that this special fayre will mean that Minskip, once again, will be the talking point of the local area, cementing our reputation as a village which thinks outside the box when it comes to organising fund-raising events.”
Rev Sue Simpson, vicar of Minskip, added:
“I’d like to thank Debbie and all the committee for their hard work, enthusiasm and imagination in organising this very special fayre.
“It will raise much-needed money for this lovely little church.”
