A much-loved craft market run by volunteers at a community centre in Rotherham was held at the weekend. 

Dozens flocked to The Centre in Brinsworth on Sunday for a monthly market, where the Brinsworth Community Trust Tombola raised over £120 for other projects and events. 

The market’s organiser, Cheryl Jones, 56, said: “One thing about the craft market is it’s predominantly organised and run by volunteers, and if it weren’t for them, this event would not exist. 

“I think it’s a great way of people who want to get involved with the community life, getting involved with this. 

“They get so much out of it, and it’s fantastic.”

Stallholders from across the community came together to sell handmade crafts, cakes, sweets, bric-á-brac, face painting, tombola, a raffle, and much more.

One visitor, Paul, said: “I’ve come to this craft fair quite a few times now.

“There’s a good diversity of products. Most of them are homemade, and there’s quite a few stalls that are for charity. 

“I think it’s great. I’ll keep coming because it gets people together, especially after Covid. 

“People have been separated, so I hope it continues to get back to that community atmosphere.”
