Oct 09 - Convent Christmas Fair 2017
On Thursday 30th November, the Convent will once again host its Christmas Fair. This annual event is held in the historical setting of the Convent and raises money for locally registered charities.
This year, it has been decided to support Gib Sams in order to assist them with the setting up of their much needed services, and Girl Guiding Gibraltar in order to assist in the furnishing and equipping of their new premises.
The doors open at 12.00 noon, and once inside you will find 40 seasonal stalls, many run by local charities as a part of their own fundraising effort, offering an array of crafts, gifts, Christmas cards and decorations.
In the Cloister you will find a cafe offering cakes, scones, coffee and tea. Between 4 and 6 pm, visitors will be serenaded by Jazz Friends once again this year. The choir of St. Joseph's School will be singing Christmas carols at 6 pm in King's Chapel. Mulled wine and mince pies will be provided by the Red Cross Committee for you to enjoy whilst you listen to the singing. Santa will also be in his Grotto from 2pm offering gifts for the children.
The Fair will host two great raffles: the first, a Honda SH Mode 125cc motorcycle (colour black) kindly donated once again by Bassadone Motors; tickets cost £2 each and will be available at the Fair and also at The Piazza on Thursday 16th November between 09.00 and 15.00. The second, on the day, will offer many prizes donated by local businesses. Both raffles will be drawn at 6.30 pm on the day.
There is something for everyone, so come along and and get into the Christmas Spirit whilst supporting local charities.
Entrance is just £2 for adults and children 12 years and under will get in free. Look for updates and follow us on Facebook (ConventChristmasFair) and Twitter @Convent_Gib.
