Fair contributes to restoration of Sheffield dam

A Christmas fair to raise money for the restoration of Forge Dam takes place this weekend.

Wreath-making, stalls selling festive gifts and food including mince pies and hot chestnuts will be on offer at the dam from 10.30am to 3.30pm on Saturday.

The Friends of the Porter Valley are aiming to collect £360,000 before the site can be cleared of silt. Over £80,000 has been donated by the public, with a further £72,000 coming from property developers.
