Christmas Fair at the Forest Centre

A weekend full of festive fun! ✨

Join us on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th December for a magical weekend of Christmas cheer at the Forest Centre – and the best part - entry is completely free! (Please note: parking charges apply.)

Browse a wonderful selection of handmade gifts from local businesses, delicious food stalls, festive decorations and more, all while enjoying live music throughout the day, including festive carols, choirs and talented local singers. You can even pick up your Christmas tree from a local seller! 🎄 We'll also be running a Christmas raffle with some fantastic festive prizes up for grabs.

Our café will be open throughout the weekend serving festive favourites such as mulled wine and mince pies, alongside our usual menu, with gluten-free and vegan options available.

Something for the little ones:
There's plenty to keep children entertained across the weekend! Visit Santa's Grotto, decorate your own wooden stars and festive characters, enjoy Christmas colouring activities, and write a letter to Santa to post in our special North Pole post box.

Plus – we're excited to welcome some extra special guests!
🩷 Saturday: Meet our enchanting Good Witch & Wicked Witch from 11.30am – 12.30pm.
🕷️ Sunday: Say hello to Barbie & Spider-Man from 11.30am – 12.30pm.
