Santa making a visit to collect wish-lists from SW15's good little girls & boys

Even Father Christmas must 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 24 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. New for 2018 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.
