Christmas Market

christmas decoration

Today in Leyland a Christmas Market was held. This pretty handmade bobbin lace christmas tree decoration was available for purchase.

With complaints from many people that Christmas is too commercialised these days it was good to see the availability of ethical produce at a Fairtrade stall, handmade gifts and traditional crafts as well as some have-a-go-yourself opportunities such as 'paint your own pot' and decoration-making.

Tomorrow, at Worden Arts and Crafts Centre there are further opportunities to get into the festive spirit at a Christmas Craft Fair from 1-5pm

Families can buy or make their own Christmas gifts and decorations, sample mulled wine and mince pies and visit Santa's grotto. The finishing touches will be put on the Christmas tree in Worden Park before the festive lights are switched on.
