We welcome back our annual Christmas Fair on Saturday 30th November and Sunday 1st December from 11am to 4pm. There will be stalls with a wide range of local crafts, perfect for Christmas presents. This year there is also a museum stall with themed hampers, which make ideal gifts to take when visiting over the Christmas period. Homemade cakes, locally produced gin and craft beer will also be available and refreshments of mulled wine and mince pies will be served. As an added attraction this year our mobile museum “Anthony” will be transformed into Santa’s grotto, open from 12noon to 2pm both days.
We hope to welcome as many people as possible to what has become a popular addition to our events programme. Entry is free but we welcome donations towards maintaining and growing our much loved museum and our outreach programme.
The popular annual craft fair held at Teddington Baptist Church returns on Saturday 23rd November between 10.30am and 2.30pm featuring regular favourites alongside new stalls to get you in the festive spirit. There will be over 20 stalls where shoppers will be able to enjoy a range of professional designer/makers including art, textiles, Christmas decorations, gifts, stationery, ceramics, children’s items and handmade chocolates. Food and drink will be available in the café throughout the day, including lunch options, and a charity cake stall will be on hand to provide sweet treats. New for this year will be a range of workshops for adults and children to take part in - why not come and learn a new skill or make some Christmas gifts? Suitable for all abilities and you take home what you make! Children are always delighted with the regular guests from Mill Cottage Farm Experience in Hampshire. Their fluffy alpacas and pigs, sheep, turkeys and ducks will be waiting outside to meet visitors, and the alpacas may even take a walk down the high street! This year there is a free fun activity trail for children to follow as well as a dedicated inside area with crafts and activities. We will also have a face painter at the event. There will be a variety of live music throughout the day courtesy of the Ukeaholics, a Surrey ukulele band, who will be bringing their upbeat vibe to the event. The event is run by a team of around 50 volunteers of all ages from the church and attracts a footfall of around 700+ from the surrounding area. This will be a family friendly start to the festive season and entry is FREE.
