The popular Crickhowell Christmas Fair will return once again to the Clarence Hall this evening.

This evening’s fair (December 1) will include an exciting array of stalls – a good place for this season’s festivities to begin.

Join in from 5pm onwards to find unique gifts for friends and family, beautiful handmade decorations and tempting food and drink made by small artisan producers – all under one roof.

Stalls include jewellery, crystals, ceramics, decorations, books, textiles, festive food and drinks and Christmas decorations to bring a bit of sparkle to your home.

The Christmas Fair coincides with Crickhowell town’s late night opening, with many businesses across town and the Courtyard offering a warm welcome for a stress-free shopping experience and much-needed Christmas spirit.

Visitors will be hard-pressed to resist the variety on offer when taking a walk among the independent and family-run businesses which make the town so unique.

There will also be outdoor food and refreshments and carolling in the street from Crickhowell Choral Society and the Primary School Choir.

St Edmund’s Church will be offering craft activities and refreshments for children and their families.

Crickhowell Fire Station will be open for both young and old to meet the team, have a tour of their facility, book an important home fire safety check, or find out what it takes to become an on-call firefighter.

In Crickhowell Resource & Information Centre (CRiC) you can explore everything from stocking fillers to exquisite art, ceramics and jewellery while supporting small businesses, producers and artists and adding a personal touch.

The Centre has gained a reputation for a great range of carefully selected affordable gifts, books and cards – ideal Christmas gifts. The oriel CRiC gallery’s Christmas exhibition upstairs offers tempting and unique handmade gifts from paintings and prints to jewellery, glass and ceramics.
