Saturday morning was bright and clear as we arrived at St. Mary’s Church to attend to our stalls in their various states of preparedness and be hands-on with presentation in time for the Market’s opening at 11 o’clock and the arrival of Father Christmas. With the help of the Market’s organising team’s mellow-sounding Town Crier, the event began with a great whoosh of excitement which happily continued all day long with stallholders displaying a most colourful and attractive array of excellent crafted items, Christmas and greetings cards, vintage items, preserves, a huge Christmas Hamper to be won and our Adderbury WI stall with everybody’s homemade cakes and preserves as well as our 2016 Adderbury Calendar, showcasing our fabulous Village, for Christmas present sales.
We were there on Friday afternoon to help the team put out the tables according to their grand plan, bringing in necessary support items and some sale goods and then we set-to with our stall decorations – the red tablecloth and our green bunting. On Saturday morning we put up our WI Banner, wrote pricing labels, displayed our excellent range of homemade donations and made everything ready for the Market to begin.
So many thanks for all your help and here’s a few photos of Adderbury’s Christmas Market for all to enjoy …
