ELLESMERE kicked-off the start of the festive season with a Christmas fair last weekend.

On Saturday, Swan Mere Day Centre CIC held a fair in Ellesmere Town Hall and many people came to have a look and join in the festive fun.

There were 18 stalls selling all kinds of handmade gifts and tasty treats – and it was the perfect opportunity to grab a Christmas bargain.

Esme Roberts, who runs the day centre with Julie Wedderkop, was very happy with how the day turned out.

“It was brilliant,” she said. “It was really well-supported.

“It was our second Christmas fair and even more people came than last time.

“We’d like to say thank you to those who visited and who volunteered.

“Just a big thank you to everyone really.”

The day centre for older people runs four days-a-week on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at Ellesmere Town Hall from 10am until 4pm.
