ST Peter’s Fair in Holsworthy, is set to benefit from National Lottery funding from the Big Lottery Fund.

St Peter’s Fair events organising committee will receive £7,550 of grant money from the National Lottery’s Big Lottery Draw.

Each year the weeklong programme of events draws in large crowds with the choosing of the pretty maid to carnival.

They will use the funding to stage a community fair, which will enable local people to take part in activities, which in turn encourages socialisation and reduces isolation.
