YARNER House near Bovey Tracey is the wonderful setting for an exclusive Christmas arts and crafts festive fair this weekend.

Local artists will be displaying the latest designs in screen prints, photography, original art and sculpture, jewellery and scented candles.

Other stalls will be offering wine tasting and fudge tasting, and mulled wine and home-made mince pies will be also be available.

Entry costs £4. Half will cover costs and half will go towards the Temwa charity which helps people in Malawi.

Fair organiser Lily Holman said: ‘Malawi is the poorest country in the world, and the people there have been suffering from the worst famine in more than 10 years.

‘The Temwa charity helps people to learn about sustainable farming and living. Its mission is to develop self-sufficient communities by supporting projects in education, health, agriculture, forestry and microfinance.’ 

The fair takes place today and tomorrow, from midday to 6pm each day. For more information about the work the Temwa charity does, go to temwa.org.
