I know that we’ve not got Hallowe’en out of the way yet but this is just a little advance warning so don’t panic you’ve still got 66 shopping days to go.
On Wednesday 5th November we’ll be attending the Duntreath Castle Christmas Fair. Duntreath Castle, situated just outside Blanefield (approximately 11 miles north of Glasgow), is the ancestral home of the Edmonstone family and the current Lady Edmonstone holds a Christmas Fair every year with entrance fees and a proportion of the profits going to charity.
The castle itself retains a 15th century keep and the stunning gardens are part of the Scotland’s Gardens Scheme so it’s well worth a visit.
The fair will be held from 10am to 5pm and is in aid of the Camphill Village Trust, a national charity which supports adults with learning difficulties, mental health problem and special needs. Entrance is £5 so please, if you’re in the area, come along and support this worthwhile event. There will be a number of stalls selling a variety of gifts so it will be a good way to kick start your Christmas shopping if you haven’t already done so!
