While the department store John Lewis recruited Elton John for its Christmas campaign and other prestige shopping outlets commissioned the famous and beautiful, St Anthony of Padua Rye features real parishioners at its first ever Christmas Fair. Well, first for a long time anyway.
Parishioners have collected, fabricated and cooked a range of fun and quality goods to sell on a wide variety of stalls. There will be all sorts of festive fun items, and you can buy gifts, raffle tickets and everything else in the knowledge that you are helping support one of the most important architectural gems in Rye.
The fair will take place at St Mary’s Centre, Lion Street, on Saturday December 14, 10am to 2pm.
