Don’t hate us for saying it, but Christmas is just around the corner!
Celebrating its 39th anniversary this year, the thrilling start to the Cotswolds Christmas festivities, The Christmas Cotswold Fair, held in support of the national charity WellChild, is back – and this year it is bigger and better than ever before.
The 2024 Fair, taking place between November 11 to 14, has expanded and developed, putting down new roots within the estate of Todenham Manor Farm, nestled between Moreton-in-Marsh and Todenham village.
In addition to a fabulous new venue, the Fair will welcome over 220 stallholders, 40 percent of which are new for 2024, selling everything you and your loved ones could ever want this Christmas time.
And let’s not forget the extensive schedule of lifestyle workshops and complimentary demonstrations, book signings, author ‘meet and greets’ and, of course, the luxurious Cotswold Grey VIP Lounge with delectable dishes from The Potted Goose Café.
‘We are so excited for what 2024 has to offer,’ says Fair organiser Lucy Greaves. ‘The Christmas Cotswold Fair is a staple event in the area, marking the beginning of the festive period, and we cannot wait to be able to expand and grow into our new venue, Todenham Manor Farm estate, offering so much more than we have ever before.
‘This year’s Fair will be the best it has ever been. Alongside our incredible stalls and daily events, we will be offering first come, first serve hard-standing parking spaces that can be booked alongside your ticket. We look forward to welcoming stallholders and visitors in November for the ultimate festive shopping experience.’
National charity WellChild, based in Cheltenham, is very excited to be working with The Christmas Cotswold Fair again in 2024.
‘We are delighted to see the Christmas Cotswold Fair continue to grow and develop as one of the most anticipated annual events in the pre-Christmas calendar,’ says Matt James, chief executive of the charity.
‘With the number of children and young people living with complex medical needs growing year-on-year, the Fair has become critical in raising the funds needed for WellChild to give these children and families the best chance to thrive at home instead of hospital. We look forward to an even brighter and festive Christmas Cotswold Fair within the estate of Todenham Manor Farm this year.’
