Saltaire shopkeepers will display their seasonal wares under one roof when they host a Christmas Fair as a “thank-you” to residents after months of disruption caused by roadworks.

The village Traders’ Association has organised the special event at Victoria Hall which takes place on Thursday, November 28 from 4pm to 8pm.

Association member Emily Farlam said traders hoped to encourage more visitors to Saltaire and say thank you to villagers for their support during the Saltaire roundabout improvement scheme. She said: “The roundabout works have disrupted trade and caused a dip in profits due to reduced footfall into the village. Saltaire Christmas Fair will be a ‘one stop Christmas shop’ with stalls from all the Saltaire shop traders.

“It’s a chance to get all those Christmas presents from local shops, all in one warm place, with food and drink and music to make this a lovely evening for everyone.”

As well as an appearance by Santa, two schools, Saltaire Primary and Beckfoot, will provide music.

Saltaire Primary will welcome visitors with outdoor Christmas Carols and Beckfoot will liven things up inside Victoria Hall with a band, helped by their award-winning music teacher Matthew Stimpson.

Chairman of Saltaire Traders’ Association David Ford said: “There are lots of us involved in Saltaire and so there will be a huge number of stalls. We are so glad people have stuck with us throughout the roadworks that this should be a great fun day for everyone. And also this will show that you don’t need to travel or go online – you can get everything in the village.

Mince pies and mulled wine as well as soft drinks and cakes will be on sale and there will also be a tombola will provided by Hirstwood School.

Entrance to the fair will be £1 for adults, and is free for children.
