Buy your Christmas tree

Locally grown Christmas trees will be available to buy from the Garden Centre throughout the weekend.

Entertainment

The Porthywaen Silver Band will be entertaining us with festive music between 3pm and 5pm.

Cash or Card?

Whilst many of traders do accept cards, some smaller stalls will be cash-only, so please bring cash with you.

There is no cash point on site at Derwen College, so if you need to pick up cash before the event there is an ATM at the Co-op in Gobowen.

The Christmas Fayre is FREE to enter, but we do appreciate any donations towards Derwen Charity – collection tubs will be available throughout the event for any spare change.

We look forward to welcoming you to Derwen College’s Christmas Fayre.
