Christmas Craft Market 2017 raises over £4,700 for Gumboots!

This year’s Christmas Craft Market, held on Sunday 26th November, was our best ever!  Thanks to trustees Angela Dyer and Karen Beard, together with their team of fantastic volunteers, a record total of £4,727 was raised.  Angela and Karen presented for sale a vibrant range of their own handmade crafts, with the team uniting behind them to run a hugely successful pop-up cafe selling hot food and delicious cakes and also  a raffle, with the prize being a hamper of luxury foodstuffs donated by a local business.  Not only has this event become a much sought after market place for talented local designer-makers but it has also evolved into a significant  social event bringing together the local community celebrating creativity,  friendship and giving in a way  that embodies the true spirit of Christmas.  Many thanks to all our volunteers, traders and customers – we can’t wait for next year!
