The Christmas Fair – What to expect at this years fair...

We are pleased to announce that we have once again secured a sponsor for our Christmas Fair. Nesbits Auctioneers and Valuers have kindly agreed to sponsor the fair for the second year running, allowing the children attending to be entertained by Dave from Chappers World of Balloons.

The balloon artist will be creating a fantastic array of treats from Santas and Snowmen to Candy Canes and Christmas Trees, to entertainment for the children, and all those young of heart, waiting to see Santa in his magical Grotto.

Plans for the fair are in full swing, but there is still plenty to do and many ways to get involved. From sourcing raffle prizes, making jam and chutneys, or pledging a donation to the Cake Stall, Chocolate Tombola or Bottle Tombola, to helping with setup or running a stall on the day, let us know how you can help this year, sign-up here.

Don’t forget if you’re reorganising at home in preparation for the festive season, then we’re happy to take small donations of jewellery any time and nearer the time donations of any of the following items, including good quality children's toys, scarves, hats, bags and other accessories, new toiletry or perfume items, as well as donations to the Bottle Tombola and Chocolate Tombola stalls. If you have any suggestions to improve the Christmas fair, or you'd like to get involved with the promotion, organisation of the event or you are able to sponsor or donate a raffle prize, please signup or let me know. volunteer@portsmouthcathedral.org.uk

Save the date – 11am on Saturday 28 November. All proceeds from the Christmas Fair support the work and mission of Portsmouth Cathedral. Free to enter, donations gratefully received.
