About the Fair

The City Christmas Fair has taken place every winter for 20 years, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy a day of luxurious shopping and unique events – all while supporting women’s health research.

2023 Welcome from Jane Jones and Nicky Milner, Joint Chair

We are thrilled to be welcoming you back to the splendid Drapers’ Hall for what we hope will be another record breaking day!

With around 1200 shoppers last year, contributing to the wonderful £85,000 raised on the day, it certainly felt as if we were heading back to pre-pandemic days. We are proud that, to date, the City Christmas Fair committee has raised well over £1 million for Wellbeing of Women.

We are thankful to the Master and Clerk of Drapers’ Hall who, together with all their staff, continue to make us so welcome in their magnificent home.

To all our loyal sponsors and contributors, we are most grateful for your continuing interest in the wonderful charity Wellbeing of Women.

We are extremely grateful to everyone who serves on the City Christmas Fair committee. The preparation, the hard work and dedication of the team ensures that the City Christmas Fair goes from strength to strength. It is a great team effort – thank you to you all.

We do hope you will come and enjoy a day of festive shopping, meet Ysenda Maxtone Graham who will be signing her new book, listen to one of the lovely choirs, enter the raffle, place a bid or two on the silent auction and of course join us for a glass of fizz. We very much look forward to welcoming you.
