A steady flow of visitors braved the elements and supported the second annual Christmas Craft Fair at St Patrick’s Hall on Saturday, kicking off the festive season in style.

Talented crafters from Delvin and the surrounding areas offered up an impressive selection of knitted goods, edible treats, pottery, glass, jewellery and much more, while local children queued to meet Santa in his special grotto.

Santa was in particularly good form on the day and even treated visitors to his own special version of Riverdance, accompanied by one of his cheeky assistants!

Don’t forget that Santa will be returning to Delvin on Saturday 5th December at 7pm, when he will be turning on our Christmas lights!
