Following recent news reports about some quartz worktops, we want to make one thing clear:
Our quartz overlay worktops are 100% silica-free.
Quartzize has invested millions into silica-free quartz overlay production, using water-suppressed cutting machinery and controlled factory conditions.
On Sunday 7th December, Skewen Park was transformed into a festive wonderland for the Coedffranc Christmas Fair – and Joe’s Doors was proud to support the event as one of this year’s sponsors.
Despite a very wet start, the fair quickly filled with families, music and twinkling lights, proving that a bit of rain can’t dampen Christmas spirit in Skewen.
Expect the smell of hot chocolate, music drifting across the green, and little ones tugging your sleeve toward the ice rink, craft stalls, and funfair. It’s the kind of afternoon that makes a village feel like a Christmas card—neighbours chatting, mittens waving from the rink, and a twinkle of bells when the sleigh arrives.
Come wrapped up and ready to wander. We’ll be there too, proud to play a small part in a big day for Coedffranc.
Bringing Christmas to Skewen Park
From the moment the gates opened, there was something for everyone to enjoy:
Santa’s grotto, where excited children queued to share their wish lists and leave with a smile and a small gift
Friendly reindeer, patiently meeting visitors of all ages and adding a touch of North Pole magic to the day
A lively ice rink, busy with first-timers clinging to the sides and more confident skaters gliding around
A colourful funfair, complete with rides, music and laughter echoing across the park
Rows of stalls and local makers, selling handmade gifts, crafts, decorations and plenty of festive food and treats
Even in the drizzle, the park felt bright, busy and full of holiday cheer.
Weather-Proof Festive Spirit
The first few hours of the fair were marked by heavy showers, but the community’s response was nothing short of brilliant.
Visitors arrived with umbrellas and waterproofs, stallholders kept serving with a smile, and the organisers worked hard to make sure everything ran smoothly until the skies finally cleared.
By mid-afternoon, the park was buzzing – families on the rides, skaters on the rink, children chatting to Santa and people warming up with hot drinks and snacks from the food stalls.
Events like this show just how strong community spirit is in Coedffranc and Skewen.
Why Joe’s Doors Got Involved
While Joe’s Doors installs kitchen makeovers across England, Scotland and Wales, our roots are firmly in South Wales. Supporting events like the Coedffranc Christmas Fair is an important part of how we give back to the areas we work in.
By sponsoring the fair, we wanted to help Coedffranc Town Council:
Bring a free, family-friendly Christmas event to Skewen Park
Create an opportunity for local businesses, makers and food vendors to showcase their work
Give families a chance to make special memories close to home, without having to travel far or spend a fortune
We’re proud to stand alongside other supporters, including Crescis and Roly Poly Entertainment, who all played a part in making the day such a success.
A Big Thank You
On behalf of everyone at Joe’s Doors, we’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to:
Coedffranc Town Council, for organising and hosting the fair
All the stallholders, food vendors and ride operators, who kept going through the weather
The event team and volunteers, working behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly
And, of course, the families and residents who turned up, joined in and filled Skewen Park with festive cheer
We’re already looking forward to seeing how the event grows in future years – bigger, brighter and even more festive.
Our Ongoing Community Commitment
Sponsoring the Coedffranc Christmas Fair is part of our wider commitment to supporting community projects and good causes, alongside initiatives like our Many Tears Animal Rescue dog food donation.
