Craft fair to be held monthly

Wootton Bassett is to have a regular craft fair following the success of last month's inaugural event.

The fair was founded by former town mayor Susan Cooksley in aid of the Memorial Hall and will now take place each month.

Mrs Cooksley, who runs a craft stall, said: "The last one went reasonably well considering it was the first one.

"We decided to make the fair a monthly event and hopefully people will come along and support it."

The next monthly fair, which will include a car boot sale, takes place on Saturday from noon to 5pm at the Memorial Hall.

The fair has been preliminarily booked for October 16.

The cost of a stall will be £7 for crafters, £15 for commercial stalls and £5 for a car boot pitch.

A first come first served policy will be used in cases where there are several traders selling the same things.

For more information or to book a stall call Susan Cooksley on (01793) 855241.
