'Spirit of Christmas'

We welcome you on Sunday 5 December 2021 to the Berrick and Roke Village Hall from 2-3:30pm to start the festive season with the return of our traditional village Christmas Fair - but with a difference!

There'll be something for all the family! On sale in the hall will be cakes, gifts, mulled wine, mince pies and coffee, while outside in the field sharp-eyed children will be challenged to follow 'The Santa Gingerbread Trail'. And Santa himself will welcome young people visiting him on his steam trailer.

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 dress warmly and for all weathers...doors will be open in the Village Hall for ventilation...We would ask you to wear masks while moving around inside the hall in line with current guidelines.

Proceeds are in aid of your village church.
