The Early Early Christmas Live and Virtual Fair 2021

The Live Early, Early Christmas Fair Tuesday 28th and Wednesday 29th September 2021, At Tedworth Polo Park, Wiltshire

(Disclaimer - we appreciate, of course, that we might be curtailed by government or coronavirus restrictions and so our plans for the live event are therefore subject to change).

A Huge Thank You

Thank you to everyone who has supported the 2020 Early, Early Christmas Virtual Fair this year. We have been overwhelmed with the support and we cannot thank you enough. Our stallholders have been instrumental in providing us an incredible selection of amazing gifts, donated exceptional prizes for our raffle and have given so generously to ABF The Soldiers’ Charity.

Our customers have shopped, donated, brought raffle tickets, had virtual gin and curry parties, brought signed books, kindly donated by Colin Thackery, and signed up for virtual valuations courtesy of Marc Allum – all of this has enabled us to keep raising funds when fundraising was at its hardest. Thank you for supporting these small businesses.

A special thank you to our sponsors General Dynamics UK Ltd, Aspire Defence Ltd and Aspire Defence Services Ltd.

The Fair has been a very successful annual event in aid of The Soldiers’ Charity for the past 28 years but in 2020 due to Covid-19, we went online. All being well the physical event will be live again in 2021, and we intend that it will take place on 28th and 29^th September 2021, at Tedworth Polo Park, Wiltshire, in our gorgeous marquees, chatting with you all! Further details will be published here once they are available.

We would like to thank all those that supported us including Kiki Everard Cakes, Pinkster Gin, Marc Allum, Colin Thackery, Tuk-in Foods, Annabel and Grace, Wiltshire Life, Salisbury Journal and all our advertisers.
