Team this with a whole host of newretailers and we're hoping that 2013will offer something different fromprevious years whilst still complementing what makes the Mary HowardChristmas Fair so special.
"Stallholders are handpicked personally by myself and my team, having tomeet a strict criteria for quality, luxury and yet affordability. We arewell known for offering the 'cream of the crop' of both independentretailers locally and nationally.
"Our customers are never disappointed by the choice and wealth of offeringwhich our fairs have become renowned for and this year we feel that we haveeven more to offer. Our charities also benefit greatly from our efforts,providing much needed resources to those in greater need than ourselves. Weare very much looking forward to welcoming both old and new guests againthis year".
