Floral fantasy at the Fair with Flair

Floral fantasy at the Fair with Flair

Date: 2018-10-26

It's all systems go for the 2018 Christmas Country Fair. As D-day approaches, the organisers are putting the finishing touches on months of preparation and planning. The Fair with Flair will be held at Collisheen Estate on Wednesday 31st October and Thursday 1st November, from 9 to 5.30.

In keeping with worldwide trends, this year's Fair will focus on all things green and sustainable, including some marvellous floral fashion creations by local floral artists, Di Stewart and Jane Matkowich. This feast of flowers will be displayed at the entrance to the main marquee.

This year's Fair will be the biggest ever, with 128 vendors selling their unique brands of upmarket, mostly hand made or locally sourced products. Even the bored husbands need not fear. There is a "man cave" marquee dedicated exclusively to goods for gents. Leather work, funky T shirts, clothes and board games are some items to look out for.

To make the shopping experience in Collisheen's beautiful gardens more pleasurable, the organisers have ensured that all stalls are under cover, and that there is little open space between marquees. There will be special needs parking close to the entrance and a people carrier will provide a shuttle service around the parking area.

The annual Christmas Country Fair (now in its 66th year) is the biggest fundraising event of the Christmas Fair Fund organisation. Last year more than 3000 shoppers visited the event, contributing to a record amount raised for KZN north coast charities.

Tickets are R60 per person per day and will be available online through Quicket or at the entrance on the day. The price includes tea or coffee and a Christmas treat.

For more information, contact Michelle Blake on 083 284 9059.
