Grow Mayow’s Christmas Fair

December 9, 2010   Friends of Mayow Park would like to congratulate Grow Mayow on their successful Christmas Fair,  held on Sunday 5^th December 2010. Despite the cold,  a constant flow of people came to buy items, make decorations and socialise in the nursery depot near the Burghill entrance to Mayow Park.

 Here is a  taste of what there was:   A range of food; stalls selling saris, felt products, knitted products, painted pebbles, canal art-ware and much more; opportunities to make table decorations with natural objects and plenty of glitter.
 Even the busy volunteers enjoyed the day. To quote Suriya, one of the volunteers managing the site, “it was a magical, cosy atmosphere, with fairy lights and wood burning stoves warming people up. And many people  voiced an interest in learning gardening skills.”
The Grow Mayow volunteers have turned this small site in Mayow Park into an active social hub which draws people in, not only to the project but also into the main park.
