After hundreds of hours of preparation and nearly a year of planning, the St Nicholas Fair will be here one week from today.
There will be 85 stalls with a huge variety of foods, clothes, jewellery, gifts and unique hand-made items. Plus a whole day of free children's entertainment run by volunteers from Hang out the Bunting, Lolly Pots, Nelly Jelly, Pirates and Princesses, Monkey music, Disco Ducks, Tatty Bumpkin and last but not least Smart Play.In addition there will be the amazing Mr and Miss Ballooniverse.
The Tessa Stevens Live Stage will be presenting an eclectic mix of opera, choirs, brass band and rock, with the 80s band Matchbox playing their top ten hits to finish off the day at 7pm.
The event will be opened at 11 am by the Mayor of Enfield and David Burrowes MP.
St Nicholas himself will be leaving St Pauls Church car park around 11.50 to make his way up to the Green and in keeping with tradition will be handing out small gifts to the children on his route up Church Hill. All parents with their children, please come and join him around 11.45 in St Pauls car park, and follow him up the hill as he makes his grand entrance onto the Green by horse and carriage.
Other highlights will be carols performed by the All Churches Choir and an ice rink in the centre of the Green. And rides in a Victorian-era omnibus sponsored by Mostons Accountants.
The last St Nicholas Fair, two years ago, was a great success (see the video below). This year's will be bigger still!
