Christmas is coming!

The Widcombe Association Christmas Market 2022 was the most ambitious yet with over 50 stalls across three venues and 2,000 visitors. The array of crafts on sale, many with a festive theme, made for an enjoyable day with friends and family. A wide array of tastes were satisfied through arts and crafts in jewellery, ceramics, textiles as well as artwork. We hope to continue this theme in 2023. Look out in August for the opening of applications from crafters.

Please note that the 2023 dates for the WA Christmas market are a week earlier than last year - Saturday and Sunday November 11th & 12th. ■ Clare
