THERE will be festive fun and frolics at Forge Mill Needle Museum's Christmas craft fair on Sunday, December 7.

More than 20 stalls with a selection of gifts, including sparkling beads, textiles and turned wood will be on offer at the Needle Mill Lane centre from 11am- 4pm.

Father Christmas will also be giving away presents in his festive grotto and home-made mince pies will be made available inside the timber-frame barn.

Forge Mill staff are also laying on a Christmas workshop for visitors to make festive decorations or presents with a personal touch.

Admission is free.
