Braving the Storm for Festive Finds: Oakham's Christmas Craft Fair

Despite the blustery conditions brought by Storm Bert, many determined shoppers ventured out today to attend Oakham's Christmas Craft and Gift Fair, held at the charming Wisteria Hotel. This festive event showcased a delightful array of handcrafted treasures, perfect for unique Christmas gifts.

If you missed today's festivities, fear not! The fair continues tomorrow, Sunday, November 24th, from 11am to 3pm. With even more vendors and products on offer, it's the ideal opportunity to discover one-of-a-kind gifts for your loved ones.

While browsing the stalls, visitors can also indulge in a warm drink and a delicious mince pie from the hotel's Hunters Bar.

Event organiser, Carolyn Acton, expressed her gratitude to everyone who came out despite the inclement weather: "Thank you to everyone who braved the horrid weather and came to our 2 craft fairs today at The Wisteria Hotel & Victoria Hall, Oakham, Rutland."

So, if you're looking for a truly special Christmas shopping experience, head to the Wisteria Hotel tomorrow and support local artisans while treating yourself to some festive cheer.

Claudia Webbe MP Visited Leicester East, Belgrave Road Leicester, during unrest and violence on Sunday. Video and Pictures

Claudia Webbe MP Visited Leicester East Belgrave Road during unrest and violence on Sunday.

Violent clashes between groups of mainly Hindu and Muslim young men will spread beyond Leicester to other towns and cities without central government and police intervention, Claudia Webbe MP has warned Claudia Webbe whose Leicester East constituency has been at the centre of several incidents over the past month, said ministers needed to clamp down on “extremist right wing ideology” and misinformation being spread through social media. There was a tense standoff between groups of Muslim and Hindu men, and the police, on Saturday evening alongside outbreaks of sporadic violence. Sixteen officers and a police dog were injured on Saturday as they worked to stop groups of men from attacking each other. A 20-year-old man from Leicester was jailed for 10 months, according to Leicestershire Police, after he pleaded guilty on Monday to possession of an offensive weapon.
