AN ELLESMERE estate with land that backs onto the town’s Mere is getting ready to host the public for Christmas events.

The Oteley Estate in Ellesmere is transforming its original stable yard into a Winter Fair to take place on Thursday, December 5.

Local businesses will be selling a mixture of gifts, homeware, food, and drink products in a festive market so visitors can stock up ready for Christmas.
