As other events have increased their reliance on technology Winter Fair is beloved for offering the opposite: a day full of timeless activities for all ages with no screens involved. 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. People have been known to visit the Dress Up Photo Booth to take a family photo for their holiday cards.
