Father Christmas will be stopping off for the Putney Parish Christmas Fair
|
This year Father Christmas will be making an early stop in SW15 to collect
wish-list letters from Putney’s good little girls & boys.
Even Father Christmas needs to get organised as the festive season approaches and this year is no exception. He’s taking a special trip out of his busy schedule to visit children in Putney at the Parish of Putney Christmas Bazaar on Saturday 23 November between 11am and 2pm.
Children can meet Father Christmas, receive a small gift, then write their wish-list in a letter and post it in Santa’s very own post box. A couple of weeks later, a personalised reply will be sent to each and every child in the post.*
Everyone is welcome to come to this special event. There will be plenty to do for all the family from our famous ‘hunt the turkey’ competition to traditional festive favourites such as a toy and bottle tombola, a special raffle, face painting, arts and crafts to buy and make, mulled wine and mince pies, lunchtime treats, tea and cakes. Back by popular demand is the ‘Putney Makes’ stall - unique hand-made gifts to buy from local artisans. There will also be live music from a local children’s choir and you can even buy your Christmas tree or wreath at the fair too!
All proceeds from the Bazaar will go to local charity REGENERATE. They work with young people and families in Roehampton and estates across London, helping transform lives and communities, from the inside out. Find out more at www.regenerateuk.co.uk
Admission is £2 for adults and free for children.
*A small cost applies for games, activities and refreshments etc. inside the fair. Event subject to change.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month . If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute . If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least two articles a month with your logo appearing if supplied.
