Return of Christmas Fayre at Broughton will benefit local crafts and businesses

One of north east Wales’s most popular Christmas attractions is set to return to Broughton Shopping Park off the A55 outside Chester in early December. It provides local businesses with an ideal showcase to display and sell their wares during the busiest trading period of the year on the popular shopping park.

Broughton’s Celtic Christmas Fayre will bring together between November 30th and December 4th over 100 of the area’s best known craftsmen and independent traders. Stalls will range from jewellery and toys, to fashion and decorations, from candles and creams to every imaginable food and drink treat, supported by entertainment and a magically festive atmosphere.

“It gives the thousands of visitors to our shopping park an ideal opportunity to find that unusual and personal gift, and brings an added sparkle onto the Park as we enter this most important period in the retail calendar,” says Colin Gilligan, Manager of Broughton Shopping Park.

Local businesses include Poplars Forge steelwork crafts from Ewloe Green , a range of sausages and soup prepared on a military field kitchen by Rustic Cooks of Penley near Wrexham, Llangollen Brewery and silver jewellery from Stuart Colclough of Ruddlan in Denbighshire.

Kids and adults can even make their own jewellery on Lorraine Logan’s Beadybeady stall, and a busy programme of live crafts and cookery demonstrations is already in place.
