Boxer Carl Frampton drops in on Annahilt Parish Craft Fair

The organisers were delighted when World Champion boxer, Carl Frampton MBE, dropped in on Annahilt’s fundraising Craft Fair on Saturday 8 October.

The local hero happily posed for photos and, along with his wife Christine and 2 children Carla and Rossa, seemed to enjoy the event in Hillsborough Village Centre.

There were lots of craft stalls for parents and activities for children including Dr Funnybone’s Magic shows as well as the chance to relax over a chat and a cup of tea or coffee. All proceeds went to the Parish Development Fund.

Rector of Annahilt and Magherahamlet, Revd Canon Robert Howard and event organiser Roberta Erwin are pictured below welcoming the Mayor and Mayoress of Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council, Councillor Brian Bloomfield MBE and Mrs Rosalind Bloomfield.
