Carrdus School invites you to the Carrdus Christmas Fair, taking place Saturday, November 16th, from 10 am to 3 pm. This year’s event, sponsored by Hamptons, promises to provide a wonderful shopping experience, complete with festive celebrations that are especially poignant as the school faces potential closure at the end of the Spring term in 2025. Unless a new buyer is found, this much-loved event may be Carrdus School’s final Christmas Fair.
Held at Carrdus School and open to the public, the fair is well-known across the community as a place to buy presents, have some fun with the family, and support local causes. This year, the Fair will raise funds for Katharine House Hospice and Freddie’s Future, a local bone cancer charity.
Shoppers will find an impressive array of unique gifts and handmade treasures from confirmed vendors listed below.
Making their debut this year, “Festive Alpacas” will add a playful twist, delighting guests young and old alike. And of course, the Fair wouldn’t be complete without Father Christmas, who, along with his merry elves—including Carrdus’ Year 6 students in their traditional Elf Craft Workshop—will spread joy and holiday magic in his magical grotto.
The Fair offers a whole sparkling Christmas package with games, arts and craft activities, performances of Christmas songs and carols by the school choirs, tombolas for all ages, the Elfie Selfie Station, our legendary raffle and much, much more.
Delicious food will be available from the ‘Enjoy Your ‘Elf’ café’, Mulled Wine from the licensed bar, as well as coffee and hot chocolate keeping the fairgoers happy and well fuelled.
There is also the “Enjoy Your Elf Café” to keep you fuelled with delicious seasonal treats, mulled wine from the licensed bar, and a range of hot drinks, ensuring everyone is well fed and warm while they explore.
As one devoted fairgoer puts it, “You just can’t miss it—it truly is the start of Christmas!” So grab your family and friends, and come join the festive fun for what could be the last Carrdus School Christmas Fair on Saturday, November 16th.
