CAROL singers, stalls with festive goodies and Santa himself will be joining business fair organisers Angel Traders at their Christmas Fayre at the Château Le Mas de Montet at Ribérac.

The event, on December 13, is free and is a chance to enjoy the festive atmosphere and meet English-speaking traders taking part in the fair.

Organisers Amanda Smith and Melanie Chipperfield of Angel Traders say their events are helping firms get good business leads and defy the recession while expats can chat with English-speaking experts and get advice and information on projects.

Angel Traders events are sponsored by The Connexion newspaper and the Dordogne Advertiser. A representative of both newspapers will be at the event to meet readers.

Special show subscription rates will be offered. For more info call 06 85 60 37 26.
