Otford Christmas Fayre 2024

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to support the 3rd Annual Otford Village Christmas Fayre yesterday, despite the challenging weather brought on by Storm Bert!

While 14 other events in the county were cancelled, our incredible management team pulled off a remarkable feat—replanning the entire event to move every single stall indoors in less than 24 hours!
 
We couldn’t have done it without the amazing support of Otford’s institutions and wonderful people. To name just a few: St Bart’s Church, Little Treacles Nursery, Otford Parish Council, The Methodist Church, Otford Scouts, The Sea Cadets, The Bull Pub, Otford Village Shops, Otford Library, Captain Fantastic, Sevenoaks Players, Father Christmas and, of course, our fantastic team of 40 volunteers who worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly. 
 
Many of our stallholders reported excellent sales, with some even setting record sales despite the weather. Your support means the world to these small businesses, many of who are struggling to make a living.
 
Thank you again, Otford—you made this event a success, and we are so grateful for your community spirit!
 
We certainly showed Bert that the show goes on in Otford whatever the weather throws at us!
