    Every year, my wife hosts a free event for people in the area who might not get the chance to feel that much Christmas cheer. It's on 21st December 1-4pm at Holy Rood Church Hall, just off Pitt Street in Town Centre.

    It's free to attend, funded by donations & staffed by volunteers, and provides music from local acts (supported by One Over The 8), a great spread from the wonderful Dodworth Deli & a little gift to all who attend. It's designed to support those who might be feeling isolated at a difficult time & the one thing you can guarantee is a dance & a chat to someone for a couple of hours surrounded by lots of lovely people.

    Every year it gets bigger & this year spaces are filling up quick. If you know someone who could do with cheering up & getting out of the house or fancy coming along yourself, DM me or contact us on https://www.facebook.com/BarnsleyFestiveFeast/ or barnsleyfestivefeast@gmail.com.

    Cheers.

    Massive thanks to your brother mate, £350 donation from his gaff & a supplier.

    It's great this place when it's not about football. Thanks a lot.
