Carrick’s Kilroot Playgroup has received a funding boost through its first ever Christmas craft fair.

The event on Saturday, December 11, was a huge success, attended by current families, past families and other members of the public.

Two VIPs were also at the fair: The Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, Councillor William McCaughey and Santa Claus.

Featuring local craft stalls offering their various wares, the event raised £960.00 for the playgroup.

“Secondly, I would also like to thank everyone for attending and supporting the event and the playgroup. We all look forward to a similar event next Easter.”
