The Christmas Fair at Hexham.....


Once again, Wentworth Leisure Centre Sports Hall was transformed into an indoor marquee.....the corridors and ancillary rooms were draped..... fairy lights hung along the ceilings.....everything laid out and ready for the exhibitors to arrive.

And what displays they created too.



So many artistic people...














And fun people too...


Then, two days of a bustling Christmas Fair....




Comes swiftly back down to Earth again for another year.



A big thank you must go to all the staff at Wentworth Leisure Centre, Hexham for their tremendous work and our wonderful exhibitors for creating such a great Show.

THANK YOU!
