Fast track your entry Skip the big entrance queue on the day! Fast track entry tickets for the Christmas Fair can be purchased from the desk outside of the main entrance on Wednesday 29th & Thursday 30th November. On both days the desk will be open from 8.30-9am and 3.20-3.50pm.

Fast track tickets will cost 50p per person, which is the same as the entry donation on the day (you just won’t have to wait!). We can accept payment using cash or card, but cash will certainly makes things quicker!

Tokens

You can also purchase tokens that can be used at the event, available in cups of £5 or £10. Tokens can be purchased at the presale or as you enter the fair on the day. Each token is worth 50p. The tokens can be used as payment for most things at the Fair, but can not be used to purchase anything from the external stall holders or from the Enterprise Stalls. There will be clear signage on the day indicating the payment methods accepted at each stall.

Santas Grotto

We are thrilled to announce that Father Christmas has flown all the way from the North Pole to spend some time at our Christmas fair! Please go to www.pta-events.co.uk/stokebishoppta to book your visit to see Santa.

Please ensure you book in advance and make sure to allow plenty of time on the day to get to the grotto, as slots do normally sell out and we’d hate for anyone to be left disappointed.

Musical Performances

We are all excited to see and hear the wonderful musical performances that the children have been working so hard on!

Miss Massey and the Recorder Club will be performing at 1.30PM. Miss Lacey and the School Choir are performing at 1.45PM. Get into the festive spirit and enjoy the music!

Please watch out for a certain green Grinch, we hear he’s been looking for presents to pinch!

Christmas Stalls

Welcome to our mini Christmas market! We have an exciting small selection of external stall holders, selling a variety of items.

Please note these stalls do NOT accept tokens.

Please also visit the enterprise stalls to view the childrens amazing work and purchase your child’s handmade item!

Make sure to take a look at the Christmas Tree stand, though most of our trees will be sold and awaiting collection, beautiful wreaths and other festive foliage is for sale!

Tombola

Tombola donation day is Friday 24th November! In exchange for a donation to the Tombola stand your child may come to school in non-uniform. Please have your child bring a giftable item to donate to the Tombola! This could be anything from a bottle of wine, chocolates, a toy, a good condition cuddly toy, a book, or anything else you think would make a good prize! Please feel welcome to send in more then one item if you are having a pre-Christmas clear out!

The tombola is always very popular, every other draw is a win and there will be hundreds of lovely prizes!

50p or 1 token a go! (If paying with cash, the correct change would be very well appreciated!)

Playscheme

Our on-site school wrap around care provider, Playscheme, will have a table at the Christmas fair. The volunteers who run Playscheme will be at the stall throughout the day to speak with parents, this is a great opportunity to chat about; The ideas for the future of Playscheme The latest in availability & the waiting list status Information on their annual events and holiday offerings An opportunity for you to provide feedback and discuss your needs

The Playscheme Hut

The Playscheme building is nearing the end of its life, it needs replacing within the next 1-2 years. We would like to build a new building that is fit for purpose and that can be shared with the school. For this project to take shape, we need volunteers to join the project team (all help and ideas will be appreciated, you don’t have to become a committee member). We also need funds to make this project happen.

Any ideas/contacts you may have to find funds/sponsors would be greatly appreciated.

If you would like to get involved or wish to send in any ideas, please contact Joe Erskine, joe.erskine@bakerhughes.com.

There will also be a quiet crafting corner, offering overwhelmed children (and parents!) a choice of colouring or simple Christmas crafts - there will be no charge for this activity To help, please donate any good condition cuddly toys that are no longer wanted on the 24th Nov .
