The festive season officially arrived on the North Coast as The Christmas Fair Fund’s much loved Christmas Fair with Flair took over the Manor House Venue in Sheffield Beach from 29 to 31 October. Now in its 74th year, the fair brought together more than 125 designers, makers, artisans and foodies. Shoppers ticked off their Christmas lists to the sound of live music, enjoyed great food, and on Saturday the little ones got stuck into creative activities at the family day. Every purchase made a difference, with funds raised going towards education and health projects across the Lower Tugela District.
Following the theme for this year’s Fair, “keep it real” a highlight for many was the Lalela Lounge, a calm, relaxing spot where shoppers could pause, catch up with friends, enjoy the beautiful surroundings and enjoy a complimentary Sip and Paint. Glasses were raised, brushes were dipped and new friendships were made over canvases and festive cheer. It was downtime done beautifully, and a true Lalela moment.
