Cracking Festive fair

Cocktail kings Oli Clark and Sam Martin of Spiritus will be propping up the bar at the two-day Festive Food and Gift Fair to mix some tasty tipples for shoppers.

The terrific twosome are also creating their own Christmas cocktail for the winter warmer at the Doncaster Racecourse.

Hair and beauty students from Doncaster College will be holding salon-inspired demonstrations for customers and catering students will be helping famous foodie Annie Stirk serve up the perfect Christmas Day dinner.

The seasonal extravaganza will also support our sister publication the Doncaster Free Press’ Scan for Life appeal which is run in conjunction with Doncaster Cancer Detection Trust to raise £600,000 for a cancer scanner.

Deliciously Yorkshire is providing the packed programme on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th November.

The event has been backed by a £75,000 multi-media advertising campaign supported by South Yorkshire Newspapers.

Organisers I-dea UK want the festive feast to rival other famous fairs including Lincoln Christmas Market which brings in 25,000 visitors.

There is also an appeal for choirs to get in touch to perform at the event.
