Christmas trees, Cakes, Wreath kits, Gourmet Gift Boxes and Panettone Pre-Orders 2024

We have once again selected a fantastic choice of delicious Panettone, with some new flavours as well as gluten-free options.

 We have partnered with The Real Christmas Company to bring you beautiful,  real wreath kits so that you and your family can create your own wreaths at home.

And this year we are extending our pre-ordering system and  giving you the chance to buy your Christmas tree, Christmas cake and some Gourmet Gift Boxes through Friends of King’s.

All these items will be available to order on this website from Monday 14th October.

The last date for ordering panettone, gift boxes and wreaths is 10th November. The deadline for Christmas cake orders is 8th November, but there is a limit on the number of Christmas Cakes we will have available so do get your order in early to avoid disappointment. These can all be collected at the Fair between 11am and 4pm.

The final order date for Christmas trees is Wednesday 4th December – these will be delivered direct to your door, with no extra charge, at a date you arrange with the vendor, between Saturday 23rd November and Sunday 22nd December.

The proceeds of these sales go towards the King’s bursaries fund, outreach and school projects.

Donations

Alongside the Christmas market stalls, we have several stalls that are run by parents and pupils – and for these we rely on your generosity in donating bottles, books, chocolate, gifts, toys, winter sports wear and for the first time unwanted musical instruments.

There will be collection points at the main school entrances from
18th to 27th November 2024

Toys – in perfect condition for the very popular toy tombola

Chocolate – any type of chocolate ( no nuts) for the equally popular chocolate tombola

Books – children’s books in excellent condition for the junior school book stall

Bottles – all kinds of bottles needed for the bottle tombola

Gifts – New, unopened gifts in perfect condition that children can buy in the secret bazaar where adults are not allowed. Please donate presents suitable for adults and siblings

Pre-loved winter sportswear – in good condition for children from six years old up to 18. Please don’t donate helmets or boots

Pre-loved musical instruments – please get in touch if you have an instrument, which is no longer being used that you would like to donate to be sold at the Fair. This is a new initiative where we hope to help re-home unwanted instruments

Volunteers

The Friends of King’s Christmas Fair is a real community event, to be enjoyed not only by pupils, their families and friends, but also by people who live in our neighbourhood.

But we depend on parents giving their time beforehand and on the day to make our Fair the success for everyone that it has become. So please sign up to some time-slots for Saturday 30th November, both in your year group and under general help.

We hope you will also consider joining the Christmas Fair committee next year and getting involved in the preparation and fun behind the scenes!
