Curious Christmas Alternative Bazaar

On the 3rd of December 2016 I attended The Curious Christmas Alternative Bazaar, which was an event held at the Methodist Parkhurst Hall, Parkhurst Road, Bexhill, East Sussex. It was an attempt by some good friends of mine to do something a little different from the usual Christmas events that are going on everywhere at this time of year. A lot of the items for sale were Steampunk, Goth etc! Even outside the event we had the fabulous Pan Up steel band, plus singers performing inside the event. There were loads of alternative party games going on throughout the day. These photos may be at a slightly different angle from usual as this is the first event I have attempted to photograph from my wheelchair, not quite as easy as I had hoped, but I will get used to it! lol Happy Holidays, hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, A blessed winter Solstice, Happy Hanukkah, a Good Yule, Happy Santa Day etc. depending on whatever it is you are celebrating!!!  :)
