We were lucky enough to receive a donation from Serena Ward and her wonderful group at their quiz in March. They raised a fantastic £400 for us! We are so grateful. Thank you 🙏

📣We need your help Fakenham!

💷We are raising funds to purchase an events tent that needs replacing. We have set up a GoFundMe page to help us out a bit!

If you would like to support us, please either donate and share or if you can’t donate, we’d still really appreciate you sharing on your social media pages.

Anything we can raise towards the cost would be greatly appreciated.

We may only be a small team of four but it takes a whole community to organise and run our annual Christmas craft fayre and lights switch on event. We’d like to take this opportunity to say some thank yous.

Firstly, our exceptionally generous family and friends, who do everything they can to support us, both in the run up to the event and on the day. We are truly grateful for you.

Thank you to Janet and her team at Fakenham area partnership, who for years have organised the lights being put up.

We couldn’t put on the show we do without Peter Hamilton of PJH Sound Systems, who gives us his time and services completely voluntarily every year. To Richard Tree, who compères the event for us voluntarily. To Thurlow Nunn Standen, who loan us the TNS trailer and to their amazing staff, who arrive early to set up to ensure we have a stage in place before anything else. To Jamie Francis, who gives his time voluntarily to support us and Fakenham Town Council for the storage of some of the larger items we need.

To all the performers who turned out in the rain to put on a show for you all. We try to showcase local talent every year and give them a platform. Fakenham has some amazing talent!

To Laura and Steph, who supported us with the children’s craft area and selfie sleigh, and our little elves, Karen, Tanya and Poppy. You are all legends!

To our wonderful raffle and tombola team, who are incredible! They brighten our day for sure!

To Alie and Theresa at The CROWN Fakenham, who set up Santa’s Grotto for us. To Santa himself, who takes a break from his busy schedule to visit us every year and to Kinnerton Confectionery for the children’s presents they provide us completely free of charge.

To the Grinch, who visited us again this year, with his usual antics!

To Miniature Donkeys for Therapy and Fun, who turned out in the rain when they really would have rather been tucked up in their stables!

To James Beck Auction, for the loan of his parking meadow for the day.

To the Fakenham fire crews, who always support us at every event to put on.

To Fakenham Garden Centre Ltd for the loan of reindeer to pull our selfie sleigh and to Aldiss Fakenham for the carpet for it to sit on. And of course the wonderful Gary Besant (aka Grandad Fix It) for his incredible skills in making our sleigh and delivering it to us every year.

To all the local shops and businesses who support us with raffle prizes, advertising and our naughty elf trail. What a great community you all are. Shop Fakenham

To all the food vendors and craft stalls who braved the weather to ensure our event was a success. We are very grateful!

To all the children who took part in our naughty elf trail and congratulations to Barney, our winner this year. Barney had a great time switching on the lights. Thanks to Morrisons who kindly donated a lovely hamper for Barney.

We couldn’t do it without you all and we are immensely grateful and proud of the wonderful community spirit you all share.

Thank you for coming to support us.

Here’s to next year! 🎉

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came out today to support us! The weather was not on our side but that didn’t stop you! Congratulations to Barney, our elf trail winner, who switched on the lights for us this year. We have many thank yous but for now, we are bringing you the lights being switched on for those who missed it. ❤️
