FOR anyone looking for a bit of pre-festive cheer, Wednesday, December 11 is a date for your diary.

That is when the Cliff Lane traders give over their time – and their portion of the road – to their latest Christmas street fair.

Twice each year the Ipswich traders put on the charity event which has raised several thousands of pounds for local good causes over the years.

This time will be no exception and in addition to street entertainment and hot food, there will be charity stalls plying their wares and a grand raffle draw.

The road will be closed for the event so the fun of the fair will have plenty of space to spread itself.

Festivities last from 6pm until 8pm and regardless of what the weather will hold, a good time is assured.

Any charity wishing to book space for a stall is asked to contact George Debman on 01473 251686.
