Christmas in the parish 2022

Twas the month before Christmas, and all through the parish, not a creature was stirring, except our events officer, who’s been hard at work preparing two Christmas fayres for December.

As with 2021, we’re holding two different Christmas fayre events in the parish, bigger, better, and even more festive than last year!

First up will be the Overdale Christmas Fayre on 10 December from 2pm until 5pm, at the Carpenter Center.

A week later we’ll be hosting the Lawley Christmas Fayre on 17 December, from 2pm until 5pm, at the Lawley War Memorial

Come along to one, or both, of them, and join us in some festive merriment! 

Expand one of the following options for more details!
