Christmas is nearly upon us and many people are doing special events to celebrate the occasion. Last weekend I went to one such event – a local Victorian Christmas fayre.

It was quite packed and all the staff wore Victorian Costumes and despite the bitterly cold weather there was a lovely atmosphere . Luckily there was Mulled Wine & warm mince pies on offer – which was just the thing to stave off the cold. In the main street there were many stalls selling all manner of flowers, home-made cakes, honey, jewellery, produce, Christmas Decorations and cards, aswell as toffee fudge & sweets.

Entertainment was put-on throughout the day with Highley Colliery Band aswell as the Severn Gilders & Iron Men Morris Dancers both doing great performances. A nearby church was also selling various home-made cards, calenders, christmas decorations, paintings, toys and other gifts aswell.

The replica of Richard Trevithick’s locomotive was also there, quietly puffing away, which generated a large amount of interest and excitement (aswell as some much needed warmth:) and was an ideal opportunity for me to finally get close to it & see it in action and take some photos.

All-in-all I had a very enjoyable day out aswell as buying loads of wine & cakes lol
