THE annual Christmas Market at Culcheth was once again a huge success, despite the non appearance of a proposed ice rink in the village due to an unfortunate accident involving the supplier.
Paul Taylor from Taylor Business Park, who sponsored the event, including a £250 prize for the most “Christmassy” stall of the market. said: “It was a fantastic day! The weather held out pretty well and the village was packed.
“Deciding on the winning stall was tricky.. A lot of them had made a serious effort and I imagine it’ll be even tougher next year. We gave the award to Crafty Crafters as the stall was well decorated and they had a really good variety of Christmas themed gifts, a lot of them hand made.
“Loads of others did a really job though. Most of the stalls had put on a good effort to decorate their spaces this year which helps push the theme on the day..
“We really appreciate everyone’s understanding about the ice rink. We’re really sorry that it wasn’t there on the day and lots of people passed on there hopes and wishes that the chap from the company makes a speedy recovery. We’re learning every year and next year we’ll make sure we use a bigger supplier so that there’s less chance of it not appearing if one key person can’t make it on the day.”
The Christmas Market has replaced the previous Victorian Day and is organised by Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Council and supported by Taylor Business Park and other sponsors, including Bents Garden & Home.
Deputy Mayor of Warrington Cllr Karen Mundry was on hand to show her support.
