We attended not one but two Christmas fairs this weekend and we’re only half way through November, but you won’t find Christmas gifts like these on the High Street.

Both the Tunstall Christmas Fair and the Iwade Village Christmas Food & Craft Fayre proved immensely popular and it was a challenge to even find somewhere to park at both venues.

I am always struck by the sheer scale and diversity of local talent and whilst not all of these Christmas gems originated from within Swale they are all from Kent.

At Tunstall we found Trish Hall with her infamous reindeer which I still think are brilliant and new this year were Chicks, Owls and an even wider range of other goodies and boy did these sell out fast.
