The Convent has announced that the annual Convent Christmas Fair will take place on Thursday, 27 November 2025 from 12:00 to 18:00 (doors will close at 17:30). This traditional seasonal event will be held in The Convent and is open to the public. 

An entry fee of £2 will be charged, with free admission for children under 12. The admission fee and all other proceeds from the Fair will be donated to support three local charities: 

• Cancer Relief Gibraltar
• GibSams
• Supported Needs Action Group (SNAG) 

To ensure inclusivity, wheelchair access will be available for attendees requiring assistance but must be pre-arranged through the Care Agency or St Martin’s School. 

Visitors can look forward to a festive afternoon featuring a wide variety of stalls offering hair braiding, homemade goods, and Christmas gifts. A café will be serving hot and cold beverages, cakes, and other seasonal treats prepared by the Convent’s chef. The Red Cross will also be selling mulled wine and mince pies. 

Father Christmas will make a special appearance at 14:00, accompanied by some of his helpers, before moving on to complete his many other tasks. At 16:30, the children from St Bernard’s Upper Primary School Choir will sing a selection of Christmas carols. 

Two exciting raffles will be held during the fair. The first raffle features a brand-new Honda SH Mode 125 motorcycle, generously donated by Bassadone Motors. Tickets are priced at £2 each. The second raffle includes a selection of hampers with wonderful goods provided by a wide selection of companies in Gibraltar. 

In addition, a signed Liverpool Football Club shirt, very kindly donated by Entain, will be auctioned via silent bids. The shirt, signed by current team players, will be available for viewing on the day of the fair. Bids may be submitted: 

• By email to [email protected]
• In person via sealed envelope
• On-site during the Fair via the auction box
