The Friends of Ropner Park will be holding their annual Christmas Fair in Ropner Park on Sunday 30^th November:  11.00am – 1.30pm.

Bookings are now open.

We are looking for traders selling interesting and unusual gifts, as well as those selling food and bottled drinks.

It would be very helpful if you could provide your own commercial grade gazebo with 25kg weights on each leg but we do have a limited number for those who need to hire from us.

Our Christmas Fair is usually very busy with a good footfall.

A live band will be playing from the bandstand and Father Christmas will make an appearance.

If you are interested and would like more information, please contact Vicki Nicholson by email:  vickinicholson@rocketmail.com

All our free concerts run from 2.00pm until 4.00pm, on the bandstand in Ropner Park from 1^st June until 24th August.
