Here in Smeeton, we love this time of year as we begin to look forward to Christmas and what better way to start than to come to our very own Christmas Fayre on Saturday 18 November, 2 - 4pm in the village Hall. Santa and his elfin helper will be in their Grotto to give out pre-Christmas cheer and presents; there will be great stalls to look at and fun activities to try your hands at and, of course, delicious cakes and mince pies that can all be washed down with mulled wine or tea and coffee. We try to keep the prices as low as possible to make the afternoon accessible to all. So please come and join us!

It’s been a very busy time out in the fields as farmers work all hours to bring in the harvest, for which we give thanks. Apparently, it’s a very good year for pumpkins due to the wet summer. Every cloud...? 

The short warm snap we are enjoying could be good news for wildlife as they stock up on food for hibernation - with balmy weather set to boost the berry season.
