Andy Hutchinson from Meet Pete Dinosaur Hire explained how excited he was to back at Gainsborough Farmers and Craft Market. He said:
“After the success of our last Gainsborough Farmers Market visit with Pete the T-Rex, Laura and myself are delighted to be invited back over the Christmas period for the Festive Farmers and Craft Market in December.
“Our Dinosaurs and Dragons will be on their Christmas Holidays getting a well- deserved rest but we’ve managed to persuade Santa to join us for this one and he may well bring along his excitable baby Reindeer friend, Rodney!
“Come along and get some Christmas shopping done at the market, meet Santa and double check you’re still on the nice list!”
Gainsborough Library is also having a Children’s craft drop in 10am-12noon making some Christmas decorations and a workshop making a festive table display.
Fabiola Nosenzo, Gainsborough Library manager for GLL said:
“Christmas is almost here, so come along on Saturday 9th December for a festive morning! Children can have fun decorating hanging ornaments for the Christmas tree and they might even have a chance to meet the full-of-beans characters from the giant pantomime coming soon to the Trinity Art Centre Jack and the Beanstalk!
“We are also having a Christmas Workshop, if you always wanted to have a go at making your own festive table display, book your place! £5.00 per person, all materials provided.”
