Christmas arrives early at Woldingham as outdoor market raises funds for bursaries

Decked in fairy lights, the Quad was transformed for our first outdoor Christmas Market on Friday 25 November. Held in support of Woldingham’s bursary programme and our emergency Ukrainian appeal, we were delighted to see so many parents, students and staff, as well as visitors from the local community.

It was the perfect crisp winter’s afternoon and evening to get into the festive spirit and eat, drink and shop, accompanied by Christmas music from student singers and musicians. With more than 40 exhibitors selling a range of goods, including fashion, gifts, accessories, home décor and artisan fayre from traditional striped market stalls there was much to tempt shoppers.

Alongside the market, the festive food and entertainment area offered a variety of seasonal treats and activities, including mulled wine, hot chocolate, German sausages, pizzas and crepes, a snow globe, face painting and even a rodeo reindeer ride!

It was the perfect way to start the countdown to Christmas and the end of term.
