Our younger guests can try their luck at the Chocolate Tombola, Spin painting and wax hands stalls, and the Tin Can Knocker, while PE staff will be hosting games in the courtyard.


To add to the festive spirit our pupil musicians will be performing live on the night, and Hamptons will be offering a free glass of mulled wine to all our visitors.


Come along and enjoy a relaxed evening of shopping, food and drink and help to raise money for your local school at the same time.


We look forward to seeing you on the 23rd!!

This is one of the best Christmas Fairs going. There's a free cup of mulled wine for every (adult) visitor, and the tombola is amazing - last year I won a Jigsaw handbag, a voucher for Ed and a bottle of fizz - that was a tenner very well spent!
Seen some beautiful wreaths I want to pick up from the fair. I?ve also heard there are a number of free meal from local restaurants in the tombola, I hope I win the one for the Japanese restaurants Yamamoto!
For the hungry and thirsty there are a lot of relevant stalls...popcorn, Crepes, Churros, Hotdogs, Tea and Coffee, a licenced bar, a cake stall plus lots of stalls selling foodies gifts!!

    • We really really need Spitting Image back, they would have had a field day with the previous lot and this lot... I agree that laughing and ridiculing politicians is one of the ways we hold them accountable and our cultural heritage is laced with great examples, Private Eye, Spitting Image etc etc  
    • The English have always been naturally self-deprecating. Having a pop at politicians of all hues is just an extension of that. It's like holding a mirror up to ourselves. We get what we voted for. Shit. Ever since Peter Cook et al lampooned MacMillan, through to Mike Yarwood, Yes Minister, Spitting Image and The Thick of It, they've felt far happier taking the piss out of politicians rather than praising them. It's funnier and, frankly, far easier. I don't expect a cabinet to accurately reflect society at large, but people are becoming less engaged with politics. 2024 was the lowest turnout in 20 years, despite there being an awful lot for people to be motivated to vote about. Maybe that can be put down to the rise of a politico class/wonkocracy who planned their career path to be being a politician at the same age most of us still thought that being an astronaut, princess or dinosaur was a perfectly reasonable career choice.  I just find them uninspiring and slightly 'Stepford Wives'. It's like being governed by a gaggle of management consultants with Master's degrees in 'Public Policy'. This cabinet is pretty homogeneous in it's background, as well. Out of the 'Big Four', three went to Oxford. Three represent 'inner' London constituencies. Two are lawyers, two are 'economists'. Their total experience outside of the public sector and politics is less than 20 years. That's not a great breadth of knowledge. There's also the Minister for Business who has never actually worked in a business and a Minister for Rural Affairs who represents beautiful, bucolic Croydon. That does seem silly enough to take the piss out of.
    • Hi Alexandra, I am an artist and I have friends who do portraits, both as commissions and otherwise.  I would be happy to forward your details to them if you could fill in a couple of details about your requirements. I am writing here in case other people are curious about how to begin the commissioning process and what to have in mind at the beginning.  What is your budget?  How large would you like the work? Do you have a particular medium in mind (oil, acrylic, canvas, board, paper)? Do you know what style of painting you would like? Timeframe? (this one is obvious as you want it for this Christmas) Remember to keep in mind that materials may be an extra cost, Postage and framing will be an extra cost.  All the best,  Brigid    
    • Andy is an absolute gem! Incredibly kind, polite, and always reliable, he’s my go-to for any jobs - I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else. Recently, I had some leaking external pipes that I was quite worried about. Andy came over promptly, assessed the issue, and fixed it efficiently, putting my mind at ease. It’s rare to find someone so dependable and skilled who also genuinely cares about doing a great job. I highly recommend Andy to anyone in need of a trustworthy and professional handyman. Thank you, Andy, for your fantastic work!
