Iconic Cotswold Fair Expands into New Home This Christmas
The Christmas Cotswold Fair, the celebrated Christmas event held in aid of national charity WellChild and celebrating its 38th year in 2023, is moving to a new home.
The 2023 Fair, taking place between 6th to 9th November, is putting down new roots at Evenlode Grounds, nestled in the heart of Evenlode Valley.
The annual Fair will be hosting over 220 stallholders, 40 percent of which are new for 2023, from across the Cotswolds and beyond, in three specially erected marquees, with 10% of stallholder & refreshment fees coming to WellChild, the 2022 Fair raised the fantastic sum of over £125,000 for WellChild.
“We are so excited to be setting down roots at Evenlode Grounds”, 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 home, offering so much more than we have ever before."
In addition to the new venue, The Christmas Cotswold Fair will be full to bursting with an extensive schedule of workshops and demonstrations, book signings, author ‘meet and greets’ and, of course, the luxurious Cotswold Grey VIP Lounge with delectable dishes from The Potted Goose Café.
“This year’s Fair will be bigger and better than ever before. Alongside our incredible array of stalls and daily events, we will be celebrating delicious, local food, prepared to perfection on site, from a number of independent and special suppliers. We look forward to welcoming stallholders and visitors in November for the ultimate festive shopping experience.”
Matt James, Chief Executive of WellChild said: “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.
“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. This is never more pertinent than at Christmas time.
“A huge thank you to Lucy and her amazing team. We look forward to an even brighter and festive Christmas Cotswold Fair at Evenlode Grounds this year.”
