And even better, children will each leave with a small goody bag to enjoy.

Tea and cake
No visit would be complete without a chance to refresh the palette with some sumptuous homemade cake, washed down with lashings of tea, coffee or, even better HOT CHOCOLATE with marshmallows and cream! Savory tooth, or little teeth – no problem – there will be snacks for you too!
Craft Stalls
with 15 craft stalls theres plenty of variety for everyone to enjoy. We have crafters selling wax melts, homemade jams and chutneys, jewellery and homewares, Bodyshop, bug hotels, Christmas decorations, wood items, and wreaths to name a few!
Ferndown Fire Service
Come and meet the crew and their engine from Ferndown Fire Station! (subject to non call out!). We are delighted they can join us, and will no doubt be on hand to answer questions and show you equipment – great for young (and old and everything in between) inquisitive minds!
Games stalls
No Fayre would be complete without a few games stalls to tempt young and old, and inspire a bit of old fashioned nostalgia! We even give you a prize just for having a go! Come and try your hand at Splat the Rat, Ball Target and more – you might even win a Gingerbread man if you’re good enough!
second hand
Catering for all budgets and in keeping with our sustainability ethos, we have a great selection of second hand toys, books, jigsaws and games for all ages. Alongside this is a second hand jewellery stall.
We are still accepting items, so if you are having a sort out pre-Christmas and would like your items to raise a bit of money for us and be given a new life with someone else we’d be most grateful. Please drop any items to the Larder.

About ‘Mission Santa Sacks’
Each year since FCS began, we have delivered over 90 Santa Sacks to children and young people in the local area who are struggling. Working with the local schools, we distribute a sack of wrapped gifts for them to enjoy at Christmas. Santa Sacks have previously contained books, stationary, a board game, toys, toiletries, jewelry, hat and scarf, hot chocolate, and sweets. All organised and wrapped by volunteers, it’s no mean feat! We love doing it, it is much needed, and your support at this Fayre will help us deliver again this year. We cater for ages 3 – 17, with age appropriate gifts. The money we have received in the past has meant that we can buy in bulk and achieve significant discounts which means the children and teenagers have more to open. Last year we achieved the above with £22 a head to use. We are opening this up this year to allow people to buy a small gift if they feel uncomfortable about donating money, or wish to donate money to fund a Santa Sack as well as a gift, such as a selection box, toiletries, or stationary.
Face painting
Get your festive face on with our professional face painter and glitter tattoo artist – Susana! Become a snowman, elf, or princess, whatever you choose!
We still have a couple of stalls we can squeeze in!
Stall holder applications – please fill out this form to discuss a stall. Stalls are charged at £20.
