With over 50 stalls, Santa’s Grotto, live entertainment, and activities for all ages, this year’s Crosshouse Children’s Fund’s Christmas Fayre promises to be the perfect way to kick off the holiday season.
The event will take place on Sunday, November 17 from 10am to 4pm at The Park Hotel, Kilmarnock.
With endless festive inspiration, you can shop from over 50 stalls and discover unique gifts for your loved ones, from homeware and clothing to jewellery and sweet treats.
As you browse a selection of festival stalls, local performers will entertain you in true Christmas style with a selection of Christmas favourites.
With plenty for the full family to enjoy, children can visit Santa in his magical grotto, post a letter to the North Pole and say hello to Olaf, who has travelled all the way from Arendelle.
Rebekah McGinn, Fundraising Manager, said: “Children can tell Santa what is on their wish list, meet our friendly alpacas, explore Kilmarnock Fire Station Fire Engine, and say hello to some familiar faces including Star Wars characters and Frozen’s very own Olaf.”
Last year’s fair was a “tremendous success”, drawing in over 2,000 visitors and raising over £8,500 to support babies and children in hospital across Ayrshire and Arran.
From the tiniest babies in the neonatal unit at Ayrshire Maternity to the paediatric wards at Crosshouse and throughout the community, Crosshouse Children’s Fund is the charity for Ayrshire’s children in hospital.
The charity raises vital funds to ensure children in hospital in Ayrshire receive the very best care. Funds raised help bring the latest medical equipment to Ayrshire, help families navigate the pressures of their child’s journey, and help children cope in hospital.
Every year, 25,000 babies, children and young people require hospital treatment in Ayrshire.
With the help of communities across Ayrshire and Arran, Crosshouse Children’s Fund has already invested more than £430,000 in life-changing projects; but there is so much more to do.
To help raise vital funds for Crosshouse Children’s Fund, join the event at the Park Hotel on November 17 for a day filled with festive spirit.
Entry is just £3 per person, with children under 8 getting in for free, making it an affordable day out for families.
