COPPENHALL Methodist Church will welcome the arrival of Father Christmas at an annual festive fair on Saturday November 14.

The church has been formed by the union of the former North Street and Bradfield Road churches, and now hosts a wide range of activities including a mums and tots group, a modern music band and a youth club.

This is the first time that the two churches have jointly run the Christmas fair, which will feature a wide range of stalls and a snack bar with bacon butties, hot dogs and homemade cake.

The fair starts at 12.30pm and admission is 20p for adults, free for children.
