News Festive fair to
help church THE community are being called on to help raise the roof at their church in Bearsted by supporting its Christmas Fayre. The Raise the Roof campaign
was launched in 2017 after a rou- tine inspection found more than £400,000 will need to be spent on the roof at Holy Cross Church. Undaunted, the parochial church council has been holding various fund-raising events and has so far collected £15,000. They hope the rest of the village
will rally round by offering items to sell, by buying raffle tickets or attending the third Christmas Fayre for the roof in the church on Saturday, December 7. Stalls will be selling jewellery, bric-a-brac, cakes, biscuits, re- freshments, books and toys, a tombola, prize raffle from 10am to 2pm. Santa will also put in an ap- pearance.
Admission is £1 and free for children. Parking is available at the end of Church Lane. To help, buy a raffle ticket, or
offer a prize, call the committee on 01622 630451.

and everyone was so lovely. The cast, the crew, the lot. “I’m excited to test myself again
at something new. Don’t let peo- ple tell you that you can’t do something. Work hard and good things will happen.” Hazlitt general manager Martin
Cleverley said: “With the ever popular and in demand Jake Quickenden now appearing in the popular TV soap Hollyoaks, it goes to prove that the Hazlitt The- atre is aiming at the elite celebrity market when it comes to in-house pantomimes.” The 350-seat venue stages its annual festival of Christmas fun from November 30 until Decem- ber 31, with sales reportedly well up on this time last year.
