The spirit of the holidays is about to arrive in full force at Brentford School for Girls (BSfG) as they prepare to host their annual Christmas Market this Saturday 6th December. Get ready for the school grounds to be transformed into a festive wonderland, buzzing with the excitement, laughter, and cheerful sounds of the season. This much-anticipated event is the perfect opportunity for students, staff, families, and the local community to come together for an afternoon of celebration and togetherness.

From 11am to 3pm, you will be greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. Prepare for the delightful scents of seasonal treats to fill the air and for magical decorations to create a perfect holiday backdrop. The market will feature an impressive variety of stalls, each offering unique treasures and fantastic gift ideas. You can browse through an array of handmade crafts, beautiful jewellery, scented candles, and unique skincare products. With everything from cards and gifts to a tombola, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

Younger attendees will be thrilled by the activities on offer, including colorful face painting to transform them into festive characters. The highlight for many will be a special visit from Santa Claus himself, who will be attending from 12pm to 2pm to hear Christmas wishes and pose for photos, adding an extra touch of magic to the day. A selection of food and drink stalls will provide delicious refreshments to keep you warm and energised as you explore.

A standout feature of this year’s event will be the entrepreneurial spirit shown by the school’s own students. Brentford Sixth Form students from Years 11 and 13 will be running a fantastic fundraising stall. They have worked hard to put together a wonderful selection of items to raise funds for their upcoming prom. Their dedication and teamwork are inspiring, and visitors are encouraged to stop by their stall to support this important milestone.

A statement issued by the school said: ‘‘The Christmas Market is more than just a place to shop; it’s a space for connection, where friends and neighbors can gather and share in the joy of the season. We aim to create a true celebration of community spirit, showcasing the creativity and collaborative efforts of everyone involved. Join us to foster a sense of unity and holiday cheer and be reminded of the importance of coming together.

‘‘We look forward to seeing you there and celebrating the spirit of giving and community at Brentford School for Girls. A special thank you goes to Clare Lort, who has expertly coordinated the entire Christmas Market and chosen again this year Brentford School for Girls as this year’s venue. Clare, from Clare Lort Events, has brought her professional touch and enthusiasm for community celebrations, making this festive gathering possible.’’
