FESTIVE fever is hitting a village near Droitwich Spa.

Wychbold residents have planned a Christmas fair this Saturday, December 1, to get the merry season off to a fine start.

Santa Claus is making a guest appearance and there will be stalls, a tombola, raffle and refreshments.

The event, at Wychbold Village Hall, in School Road, will run from 12noon to 2pm.

Admission is 20p and cash raised will go to the village hall repair fund and St Richard's Hospice, in Worcester.
