Roll up for the Hadleigh Autumn Craft and Food Fair!

19th October

Preparations are well underway for the annual Hadleigh Autumn Craft and Food Fair, which will take place on Sunday 19^th October at the town’s Town Hall/Guildhall complex in the Market Place.  More than 60 stalls (maximum we can accommodate) will be showcasing a wide range of speciality foods, handmade clothes, gifts, cards, glass and pottery items and jewellery, offering the perfect opportunity to treat yourself or to start your Christmas shopping! Free parking will be available throughout the town  which runs from 11.00am to 5.00pm, and the Town Hall/Guildhall complex has disability access.

Last year’s Craft and Food Fair was a huge success but this year we are hoping for an even better turn out. We have attracted a wide range of high quality stalls offering an array of fantastic items, so make sure you’ve saved the date in your diary. Admission for adults is £1, with 50p concessionary charges available. Children under 13 will be admitted free of charge with an adult.  We are sure you will agree this is a good value day out!

Hadleigh Christmas Lighting Up

30th November

This year the event is smaller than normal due to the lack of help but i hope you will agree that we have got some entertainment for all ages. We have a stage in the market place which will have Christmas carols provided by the Elmsett fellowship brass band and also lots of local groups including, Diamond-Lites majorettes HADS doing a snippet from the snow queen, St Mary's school with a snippet from the recent show Joseph, and not forgetting the "Has Hadleigh Got Talent" winners from the show. We will also be holding a under 9 fancy dress show. We have plenty more in store on the stage including the build up to the lighting up which this year is hosted by a famous comedy duo.

As i said the High street will be open as usual but a crossing will be put in place by the police to the Barclays car park which will have a fun fair and also Santa sleigh will be making an appearance but don't forget to make your way to the stage for the lighting up build up at about 5:45pm. More information including timetable of events next month.

Calling all businesses and shops

We would like to hold a Christmas raffle for the Christmas lighting up with Prizes from the shops in Hadleigh. The mone y raised from this will go to next years event like a carnival or street fair.
