19 tables have been booked by Crafters who have been busy creating beautiful and unusual gifts and items.

It will be a great opportunity for some Christmas shopping and to see Father Christmas who will arrive by steam engine.

Saturday, 11th September

If you enjoy walking, why not join us on Saturday, 11th September on a Parish walk of about 8 miles and lots of stiles through beautiful countryside visiting some of our local churches: St Peter’s in Thornton, St Michaels in Markfield, St Marys’ in Stanton, the Quiet Garden at the site of Holy Rood, Bagworth, and Cross Hills Baptist Church.

The walk starts at the Lych-gate at St Peter’s Church in Thornton (LE67 1AA) and heads to Markfield following the Leicestershire Round through Brown’s Wood.  From here our path takes us to Stanton, and then onto Bagworth, and finally back to Thornton through the new woodlands.

We will leave Thornton at 11 am.  You will need to bring drinks and a packed lunch.  Footwear suitable for walking is necessary. If you would like more information or you would like to take part,  please contact William & Shirley on 01530 230422
