The ELHAM CHRISTMAS FOOD FESTIVAL and MARKET held in the Village Square on Sunday, 16 December, 2012, was the first of our bi-annual Food Festivals and proved to be a great success and huge fun. We had over 600 visitors and would like to thank all the stallholders, performers, food providers and - of course - those shoppers who made this such a special day. Special thanks to Pam Ferris for opening the market and for her fabulous and funny portrayal of Mother Christmas.

We're now planning our SUMMER FOOD FESTIVAL & MARKET - which will be on SUNDAY, 2nd JUNE, 12 - 3.30pm on The Triangle (Village Green). It will be a celebration of delicious food and beautiful garden plants, with beer tent, Pimms, and live entertainment. If you'd like a stall, please email julie.woodgate@yahoo.co.uk

We hope to hold it three or four times a year. The committee and other volunteers help with a number of tasks on market days, but we always need more Friends of Elham Food Festival to take a turn at putting up the bunting and help set up and take down the gazebos. Come and join us and make new friends. Contact the market manager, Julie Woodgate on t: 01303 840044 for more details.
