2nd LOHP Spring Plant and Craft Fair a great success

LOHP's 2nd Spring Plant and Craft Fair was held on Sunday 12th April at a new venue Lophams Village Hall. The new venue provided a flat field for the outdoor stallholders and with the added benefit of inside space for more stallholders, refreshments and toilets.

There were over 14 plant sellers, 23 craft stalls, a couple of information stalls, LOHP's nature table and tombola. Along with refreshments hot and cold, including hot dogs, ice creams, beers and homemade cakes, there was something for everyone.

It stayed dry and the sun even came out. The LOHP donated plant stall was really popular along with the LOHP tombola which was quite a favourite, thanks to all the stallholders for donating prizes.

The indoor space allowed us to invite more craft stalls who could not be outside and was somewhere for us to provide our own refreshments.......

A huge thank you to all of the LOHP volunteers who helped out not only on the day but with all the preparations before and after the event, and all the stallholders who came along and made the day a great success. Not forgetting the over 500 visitors that joined us - thank you.

All donations raised from the event have gone towards the Prince Freddy's Meadows Appeal.

See you in 2027 for the next one.
