A SMALL but perfectly formed Christmas fair is due to take place at Lothersdale Village Hall on Saturday, November 12 with what organisers say will be an expanded range of gifts on offer - giving people plenty of ideas for early gift buying.

Described as one of the 'smallest festive fairs' in Craven, there will be a range of locally made arts and crafts on sale including Lathersdale Soaps, felted Christmas decorations - with a hand-made tooth fairy house - and cards and calendars from Cononley.

New for this event will be items to buy from The Body Shop and pre-loved quality clothing plus the work of Craven artists Nicole Dickinson and Jane Wallbank. Lights, novelties and Studio Ghibli Totoro toys; knitted hats and scarves; Christmas wreaths and bird boxes and Beau's Boutique designer wear complete the line-up along with cakes, honey and jams.

The RSPCA will be running a tombola and catering will be provided by Lothersdale Young Farmers Club. Free entry at the event on November 12, which will run from 11am to 4pm.
