Keswick Victorian Fayre takes place on the first Sunday in December. It has live entertainment by local artists, bands, choirs, and dancers in the Market Square and in Packhorse Court throughout the day as well as a children’s funfair. There are over 30 charity stalls selling homemade crafts, produce, festive food and drink, together with games and tombolas. The Fayre gives local charities the opportunity to raise their profile as well as raising much needed funds. To enquire about having a stall at the Fayre please email us at nookbarn@aol.com

Since my arrival in Keswick one of the Christmas highlights has been the Victorian Fayre. A chance for the community and voluntary organisations to come together and do something that benefits the town and its residents. It has also been my privilege to welcome stall holders and others at the end of the day to a short Carol Service at St John’s, a chance in word and hymn to celebrate what is good in our town and to say thank you to God for his generosity for each other and beauty of the place. It is great to see Keswick has a vibrant community life and it’s great to be able to support its nourishing and flourishing!
