The annual Victorian Fayre takes place on the first Sunday of December every year and this year it will be held on Sunday 1st December, in it's usual spot of the Keswick Market Place and in Packhorse Court.

25 Charity stalls set up and ready to go by 10am including a grotto for Santa. The stalls will be selling food Christmas Goodies and The entertainment will set off with a rousing series of seasonal melodies played by bands on the main square. Two MCs Chris Briggs & Neil Airy will be introducing the players and directing the visitors to what will be happening and where – either on the main square or in Pack Horse Court. Their style of dress last year was bright and cheerful and eye-catching though not in the least Victorian!

Father Christmas will appear during the morning and will meet only those children who have been good throughout the year!
