Do you have any unwanted prizes, gifts or bric-a-brac that might be suitable for the Crosspool Forum Summer Fayre bric-a-brac stall? For example glasses, small toys, jewellery, vases etc.
If so, please get in touch on g.m.drinkwater@btinternet.com. We can collect if necessary, or they can be dropped off locally.
The annual Summer Fayre will take place on Saturday 4 July. It’s part of the Crosspool Festival, which this year runs Friday 26 June to Sunday 5 July.
The two nominated causes have each been presented with cheques for £5oo raised through Crosspool Festival.
Independent charity PACT (Parents’ Association of Children with Tumours and Leukaemia) received £500. PACT is linked to Sheffield Children’s Hospital and supports families by providing accommodation near the hospital, holiday caravans in Filey and Berwick upon Tweed and organising trips and treats for children.
A further £500 donated to Coldwell Lane community facility CDYST will go towards playground improvements.
Final preparations are underway for Crosspool’s annual Selborne Road street market on Sunday 29 June.
The event is your opportunity to buy local food, cakes, plants, crafts, jewellery, clothes and books from over 40 stalls and also enjoy music and dance from Jacapella, Lydgate First
School, Tapton School’s wind band and an Irish dance troupe.
Many of our local shops will also open up for the day. Direct Travel is hosting a travel market and family fun day with free face painting and goody bags.
During the market, Crosspool Art Group will be exhibiting in the garden at 55 Selborne Road where tea and picnic facilities will also be available.
Last year, even the deputy prime minister popped by.
Crosspool Street market is 12-4pm and is part of Crosspool Festival 2014.
The coordinators of this year’s Crosspool well dressing are asking for your help.
If you’ve ever wondered how a well is dressed and would like to help dress the Crosspool well with flower petals and seeds, or just come and watch, drop-in to the Stephen Hill Methodist Church (Benty Lane Entrance) from 9:30am onwards on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week.
