The Christmas Fair returns to Oxford Botanic Garden for two days of festive shopping and entertainment. They are delighted to be joined by a variety of local craftspeople, suppliers, and producers, showcasing everything from vintage homewares and handmade linen to organic skincare and foodie gifts.

On Saturday 2 December, Fleur Stevenson will bring festive cheer to the Garden with Christmas favourites and jazz classics, and Natty Mark Samuels will present his interactive Guavaberry workshops, celebrating the flora of Caribbean and African folklore and the culinary pleasures of Christmas through music and festive games. On Sunday, Horns of Plenty will get your toes tapping with their lively tunes.

There’ll be plenty of delicious food and drink on offer from local suppliers and producers, including Spectacular Goat, Fallow & Field, Crafty Belle, Church Hanbrewery, and Jericho Coffee Traders. The Conservatory Bar will be serving festive favourites including mulled wine.

Children can explore the Garden with the Christmas Pudding trail where they’ll learn about the fruits and spices of the festive season. They can also meet Mother Christmas in WhatNot Theatre’s magical winter grotto where they can tell her all of their Christmas wishes. Plus, have a go at the Friends’ Tombola or find out all about mistletoe with the ‘MistleGO!’ survey project.
