December 12 & January 9
Glenholt Market
10.30 am Saturday 12 December
Since the first lockdown in March, the popular monthly Glenholt Community Market at St Anne’s Church had to be suspended. Set up four years ago, the market had become a focal point for the local community. With many regulars shielding, the market has now moved to the internet. Karen Griffiths, a member of St Anne’s Church and one of the organisers of the ‘Virtual Market’, said: ‘We were missing the community and wanted to bring together and support small local businesses.’ The first ‘Virtual Glenholt Market’ was due to take place via the Zoom video conference platform and also streamed live on Facebook on November 14. The next market will be taking place on December 12th between 10.30am and 12.30pm, when traders will be offering handcrafted items which can be ordered and delivered directly. To get into the Christmas spirit, there will be a Christmas carol sing-along. Just bring your own mince pies! After the event, all traders can be contacted via the market’s Facebook group. All you need to do to take part is register here: www.glenholtcommunitymarket.co.uk/register.html or on Facebook www.facebook.com/groups/glenholtvirtualmarket. A new year ‘Virtual Market’ is scheduled for January 9th. Frank Hartkopf
