It is anticipated that the fair will be a good opportunity for the community to purchase a variety of Christmas gifts in anticipation of the big day.

This comes as Birchwood Shopping Centre announces its Christmas calendar that is chocked full of community events - all free of charge.

The Women's Institute craft fair in Birchwood will be a chance for people to come together and peruse the unique handmade gifts on offer at the fair.

Handmade jewellery, Christmas decorations, and evergreen wreaths will be on offer for shoppers to buy, too.

Birchwood Women's Institute promises to have 'numerous unique gifts to solve all your Christmas present problems' on offer.

As the cold weather comes in, there will be a variety of hot drinks on offer to keep the cold at bay, as well as a range of homemade cakes on sale, too.
