About the Fair

The City Christmas Fair has taken place every winter for 22 years, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy a day of luxurious shopping and unique events – all while supporting women’s health research.

2025 Welcome from Jane Jones and Nicky Milner, Joint Chair

We are delighted to be welcoming you back to the magnificent Drapers’ Hall.

We would like to express our thanks to the Master, the Clerk and all their staff at Drapers’ Hall for continuing to make us so welcome.

Thank you to everyone who came to last year’s City Christmas Fair. We had a wonderful day and were thrilled to have raised a record breaking £100,600 for Wellbeing of Women. We do hope you will support us once again, in raising even more funds to support the invaluable work of Wellbeing of Women.

We are very sad to say farewell to Lady Parmley as the Patron of the City Christmas Fair. We thank her for all her support over many years, including five years as our patron. Lady Parmley has kindly agreed to continue supporting us and will remain an ambassador to the Fair. We welcome Lady Russell as our new Patron, and look forward to working with her.

We would also like to thank our ambassadors, our sponsors and donors for their hard work, encouragement and support, without which we could not have continued to bring the Fair to the City of London. This year we are delighted to be welcoming some exciting new exhibitors, as well as many old favourites.

We hope that you will join us on Monday 1st December to enjoy a day of festive shopping amid the splendid surroundings of Drapers Hall. Come and listen to the choir, enter the raffle, place a bid or two in the silent auction, where we have some spectacular prizes and, of course, join us for a glass of fizz at the Champagne Bar.

As for our committee, they are the backbone of the Fair. None of this would have been achieved without their hard work and dedication throughout the course of the year. It is a great team effort – a huge thank you to you all.
