As part of the annual Christmas Tree Festival, the Friends of St Thomas Church are delighted to present an Artisan Market enabling local artisans to offer their wares for sale.

We have a lovely variety of stallholders who will be selling their products in the Church Hall between 10.00am and 5pm on Saturday, 3 December.  The hall will be festively decorated and Christmas music will be playing creating a special atmosphere to buy gifts for all the family.  Items on offer include original paintings, candles and wax melts, jewellery, handsewn seasonal gifts, lino prints, custom-produced gift cards and baubles, shortbread and sweets.  There is something to suit every pocket and age group.
