Christmas Fair this weekend

The 2011 festive event will be held in the recently extended Knebworth Barns complex so that shoppers can browse and buy in comfort.

Almost 100 stands will be displaying and selling a variety of jewellery, glass ware, books, soft toys, clothing, home accessories and gifts.

Food lovers can choose from cheeses, coffee, jams, preserves, pickles, fudge, sweets, wine and many more. The ‘Jamie at Home’ stand is expected to attract a lot of interest. It is the perfect opportunity to stock up on all the special items to help make your Christmas celebrations memorable.

Reindeer and owls will also be in attendance in a special animal pasture to help set the scene. The children’s ticket includes a visit to Santa in his Grotto.

The licensed Garden Terrace Tea Room will be open offering a range of home made light snacks and cakes.

Martha Lytton Cobbold said: “We are looking forward to hosting the new Christmas Fair at Knebworth, which will give visitors a real opportunity to feel that Christmas is just around the corner and get ahead with some special gifts for friends and family.”

The fair is open from 10am-5pm (last entrance 4pm) on both days. Admission costs £5 for adults, £4 for senior citizens and £3 for children including Santa’s Grotto. There is no charge for parking.As it is an out of season event, the House, Park and Playground will be closed.
