Northwood House Christmas Fair
After another hugely successful Christmas Fair in 2024, the dates for the 2025 event have now been confirmed for Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th November!
What's On
Head to Northwood House in Cowes over Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th November for a weekend of Christmas festivities!
The Fair has been one of the busiest Christmas events on the Island and will again be featuring a selection of up to 50 of the best local gift exhibitors in art, craft and produce. It’s the perfect inspiration for unique Christmas present buying for those seeking something unique and original for their friends and loved ones!
The two day event will take place from 10am to 4.30pm on both days and will be free to enter for all visitors! The Christmas tea room will be open with mince pies and seasonal fayre, along with the House Bar serving seasonal mulled cider amongst an array of beverages, there will be plenty of opportunities for a winter warmer and a piece of tasty stollen cake.
Children can have a free “meet and greet” with Father Christmas in the snow cave and write him a letter to give to him in person, with a chance for parents to take photos. Father Christmas will be saying thank you with a chocolate coin or a sweet treat for all the children and parents that pop in to say hello. Please note, that children will require parental accompaniment to take part.
There will also be the return of Santa Paws…the Father Christmas for dogs, who’ll be delighted to wish you and your four-legged friends a merry Christmas! Meet Santa Paws with your dog and other family members and take your own photos to mark the moment for just a £3 donation to Northwood House Charitable Trust!
