New facilities to be
‘christened’ at
Christmas bazaar

The pretty conservation village of
Harringworth, nestled close to the
magnificent brick built viaduct on the border
between Rutland and Northamptonshire,
will be putting its newly installed facilities
in St John’s Church to the test at the
village Christmas Bazaar on Saturday
21st November from 10.30am to 1.30pm.

After many years of fundraising and the
recent award of several generous grants,
the church has recently fitted a disabled
toilet and up to date servery ensuring that
St John’s is an ideal venue for hosting
regular concerts and offers improved
facilities for baptisms, weddings and
funerals and regular church services.

This is ideal timing for the Christmas
Bazaar held every year in St John the
Baptist Church and the team of helpers
who provide tea and mince pies are
especially excited about the new facilities
as their role will be made so much easier
with the new servery.

The Harringworth Bazaar is an ideal
venue to find great value Christmas
presents; it features a variety of local
traders with carefully selected gift ideas
alongside the ‘Made in Harringworth’
local produce, preserves, cakes and
craft carefully prepared by villagers. For
many years, the famous ‘Harringworth
Hampers’ have taken centre stage and
this year is no exception with tickets
available to purchase ahead of the event,
by popular demand.

Whilst browsing the stalls you can take
a break and relax with a nice cup of tea
and mince pies; the cost is included in the
entrance ticket set at a modest £1.50, with
children under 12 free.

Proceeds from the Christmas Bazaar go
towards the Harringworth Appeals Fund
which raises funds for village projects,
including the church project opened at the
event on Saturday, 21st November 2015.
