Silsoe Easter Craft Fair 2025
THANK YOU …
…. to everybody who came along to the Craft Fair in Silsoe Church on 12 April. We hope you enjoyed your visit and the children enjoyed decorating eggs and making Easter Cards.
The Craft Fair helped us raise enough money to pay the insurance premiums on the Church and Churchyard for nearly 3 months – this is a great help to our Church finances this year.
CONGRATULATIONS to Rachel B who won the Guess the Number of Eggs competition and got an Easter Chick filled with 181 eggs (and 6 Easter Bunnies) – that’s over 2kg of chocolate!
You can find more details about the Fair here – including the stalls which were there.
