A Very Merchiston Christmas Fair
Join us for 'A Very Merchiston Christmas Fair' and a wonderful start to the festive period.
Following from last year's success, we are delighted to announce that we will be holding this year's 'A Very Merchiston Christmas Fair' on Saturday 7th December (10:00-13:00). Held in the beautifully decorated Memorial Hall at Merchiston Castle School, the event is the perfect occasion to get into the festive spirit. You will be able to purchase luxurious gifts, sample delicious treats, enter our fantastic raffle and support the efforts of our charity fundraising students too. Tickets for the event are available via Eventbrite (simply click on the button below). Tickets are free of charge (gives us an idea of numbers).
A Warm (festive!) Welcome Awaits.
Christmas isn't a season. It's a feeling.
