Saturday 7 December along Staplehurst Road! Time: 12- 5pm
The annual FUSS Christmas Fair has grown to be one of the largest in the Borough. The tiny team of organisers are appealling to people in Lee and Hither Green to help out on the day with stewarding and in various fundraising stalls.
If you are able to give an hour of your time on the day, or even the evening before, you would be a local hero!

Saturday 7 December.
Time: 12pm – 5pm on Staplehurst Road
For the fifth year, local residents will be selling beautiful, top quality and *freshly cut* Christmas trees at Hither Green’s wonderful Christmas Fair amongst our friends and neighbours!
** The Hither Green Community Association has been selling Christmas trees to our community at the Fair for FIVE years now. EVERY TREE we sell funds the planting of new street trees on our streets, improving our neighbourhoods and our environment.**
So start Christmas with us: Our prices are great! We offer free delivery!
We offer a tree care and recycling guide!
As ever, our trees are available in sizes from table top to 10-12 feet.
Come along and say hello, we’ll be on our regular pitch outside Nisa, on the corner of Staplehurst and Fernbrook Roads.

JOIN US: STEP FORWARD TO BE ON THE HGCA COMMITTEE!
This is a small and busy group and we need people from across Hither Green with ideas and the drive to carry them through.
You can step forward on the night, but it’s easier it you can drop a line to volunteer@ourhithergreen.com with your field of interest.
We do make a effort to ring-fence projects so you only work on projects which interest you! So if you have an interest in Design, our Environment, Transport, Older people/ children, or Health- you can put your energies into those things alone! .
One example: We need a small team to take the May Festival forward; to deliver the big Food & Craft Fair, and with of fresh ideas for events and activities during the week. We need expert help with opportunities we can offer local sponsors too.
