Christmas Fayre
Saturday, November 22nd 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
In the past, this has been a lovely event and a great place to start Christmas Shopping. This year, the village hall will be packed with at least 17 stalls confirmed. The meeting room will be busy too, with tea, coffee, cake, mulled wine, and hot breakfast sandwiches, along with an amazing tombola!
Can you help with the Sessay Village Hall Christmas Fair?
We are looking for volunteers to help with the tombola and refreshments, if you can spare an hour of your time.
We are also looking for prizes for the Christmas Fair tombola and raffle prizes for future events, if you have anything suitable to donate.
Finally, we would like donations of festive cakes or biscuits for the refreshment stall at the Christmas Fair.

Life Outside the Village
Yes there is one!!
Easingwold Panto
It’s panto season, oh yes it is. Get yourself down to The Galtres Centre in Easingwold for your annual dose of hilarious fun.
It wasn’t just that chap in Nottingham that Robin Hood had a run-in with, but also the evil Sheriff Mutton of Sheriff Hutton. Can Robin overcome evil and win Marion’s hand?
You’ll have to come to find out! There’s singing, dancing and corny jokes aplenty, along with outrageous costumes and acting.
It starts on the 12th of November and the run finishes after Saturday 15th’s afternoon matinee performance. Tickets available from the Galtres Centre. https://www.galtrescentre.org.uk/events/
You might even see a couple of folk you know there too!
