All welcome at Prestwich Winter Fair

Everyone is welcome at the Longfield Suite which has organised a family friendly Prestwich Winter Fair on Sunday 13 December.

More than 40 stalls will be selling everything from Christmas decorations to handmade crafts, clothes and jewellery. There will be a number of local community stalls, and also fundraising stalls including Grace’s Place children’s hospice.

Bags for Love will be collecting goods for refugee children arriving in Greece. Thanks to the Prestwich Beer Festival, there will be a selection of real ales, mulled wine, festive food, mince pies and Stollen.

Throughout the day there will be performances from Jo Bernstein, Prestwich’s Got Talent finalists and Revise, plus festive music from Northern Air Radio.

Santa will be in his Grotto, provided by the Prestwich Carnival Team, offering presents for children and photos for the parents, all in aid of Grace’s Place, plus face-painting sponsored by Jennie Platt Estate Agent.

The fair runs from 10am to 4pm and admission is free.

Councillor Jane Black, chair of Prestwich Township Forum, said: “Everyone is so pleased that Prestwich is to have a winter market once again this Christmas. The response has been terrific, with nearly 40 stalls booked plus Father Christmas and entertainment. This event will showcase local food, craft and talent, and help raise funds for important good causes.”
