🎄 Take a look at our upcoming festive events at Rowleys!
All the details are on the poster – we’d love to see you there! 😊💙
On Saturday 29th November Park Mead will be holding their Christmas fair.
We are still looking for anyone who would be interested in having a stall at our event. It would require the stall to be outside due to limited indoor space but we hope to make it like a Christmas market feel. If you’re interested in attending please get in touch via email parkmeadprimaryptfa@gmail.com we are only charging £10 for the stall so it’s affordable. You would need to bring a gazebo if you want cover and a table if needed. I look forward to hearing from you 🎅🏻 🎁 🎄 ⛄️ ❄️ 🦌
