Summer Fayre: A Celebration of Sunshine at New Leaf
On Saturday, June 3rd, from 11 am to 3 pm, New Leaf held its annual Summer Fayre! This free event was the perfect way to kick off the sunny season. Visitors explored our diverse range of plants, perfect for adding colour to their homes and gardens.
For those seeking unique gifts or handmade treasures, a variety of craft stalls brimmed with creativity. Live music filled the air, creating a vibrant atmosphere, while our pop-up cafe offered delicious hot dogs and refreshing drinks to keep everyone fuelled throughout the day.
Sweet tooths were indulged with tempting treats from our cake stall, and some lucky attendees walked away with fabulous prizes from the exciting tombola. Crafters in the Liverpool and Southport area had the chance to showcase their creations and connect with a vibrant community, fostering a sense of belonging and togetherness!
Festive Fun at the Christmas Fayre
Later in the year, on December 2nd, from 11 am to 3 pm, we transformed into a winter wonderland for our Christmas Fayre. This festive event was a testament to the collaborative spirit at New Leaf, with supported individuals playing a pivotal role in all aspects of the fayre. Their contributions, from crafting special gifts and decorating the space to assisting with the sale of Christmas trees, were truly invaluable.
The Christmas Fayre offered something for everyone, which was especially rewarding for those we support. As Stuart Heffy, Activities Lead at New Leaf Garden Centre, said, “The people we support have been busy crafting the gifts, checking the trees, and planning the fayre for the past few months. They looked forward to welcoming everyone to New Leaf this year!”
Both the Summer Fayre and the Christmas Fayre reflected New Leaf Garden Centre’s commitment to fostering creativity and a sense of community. We look forward to bringing you similar events in the future!
