Fantastic Draw at the Hedgehog Fayre

A HUGE thank you to our wonderful Ross shops who have supported St Mary’s both in the draw and with other gifts for the Fayre. You can get your tickets at the Fayre, look for bargains on our stalls, and stop by for a pint and a pork or brisket roll at the Motley Hog in St Mary’s Churchyard or a cream tea and homemade cake at Mrs Tiggy Winkle’s Tea Shop in St Mary’s Hall. See you there!
