Browse the Artisan Holiday Marketplace make a candle from bees wax dye a silk scarf with flower pedals or marvel as children are transported by the simple magic of a puppet show.

All four floors of the school’s historic building will be transformed with games music homemade food and plenty to see and do for every age. It is often noted that attendees leave Winter Fair with items they treasure for years such as a jump rope you spin yourself or a gem discovered by a child in the Crystal Cave.
