Plans are ongoing for the Christmas Market in Goldthorpe which will be on Friday 11th December from 4-8 p.m. Santa’s Sleigh is apparently all ready and a good number of stalls booked, including some selling Christmas wreaths and jewellery as well as Mr & Mrs Pickwick’s Traditional Baked selling hot pork sandwiches. Face painting, Santa’s elves and tombolas will all be available as well as a range of rides (in the car park at the bottom of Market Street.)

Inside the church, we will be having refreshments and home baking to keep us going and there will be the opportunity to win a Christmas Food Hamper. Donations to the hamper are still needed, so you can support the event even if you can’t make it on the day! Craft items and Christmas decorations will be available, along with sweet cones and other craft & coluring activities to keep children occupied. And if you really can’t face all that Christmas wrapping, bring your presents along and get them wrapped for 10p per present! All proceeds from this will go towards the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal to help local families in need.
At 6 p.m., members of local churches will join together in the car park for a ‘Churches Together Carol Service.‘ Come along to sing old favourites and newer carols and have a great time celebrating the fact that God has come to earth as a baby to save us all!
