Fun weekend of markets, scarecrow making and prizes coming to Fox Valley
3 October 2024
A bumper weekend of markets, scarecrow making and fun prizes is coming to Fox Valley in what promises to be a real treat for shoppers.
A number of traders are expected at the
popular Stocksbridge shopping centre on Saturday and Sunday (October 5 and 6)
for the latest Makers Market.
Shoppers are invited to discover a wide range
of unique gifts and goods produced by talented makers from across the area between
10am and 3pm on both days.
In addition, youngsters are invited to come
along and make their own scarecrow at a special Autumnal-themed stall on the Saturday
between Noon and 2pm.
Youngsters wishing to take part are asked to
make a charitable donation of £3 in return for two canes, hay, baler twine and
clothes so you can make your scarecrow. Entry forms will also be available at
the stall.
The scarecrows will then be put on display
and judged with prizes available. The judging will kindly be undertaken by The
Stocksbridge Town Council Mayor, Councillor Alan Law, at 2pm.
Members of the local St Anns Girl Guides
Group and Brownies Group will also be on hand to help run the stall.
All profits from the scarecrow stall will be
donated to The Dransfield Foundation, which supports a range of good causes.
In addition, the regular Friday market will
precede the Makers Market at the bottom end of the centre, near Aldi and Home
Bargains, between 10am and 3pm.
