A Narnian Christmas

Saint Catherine's Hospice is bringing back its annual Christmas Fair on Saturday 21 November, and this year's theme is A Narnian Christmas. It's the hospice's big festive tradition, returning each season as the weather turns, and the 2026 edition is built around the world of Narnia. The hospice describes it as a journey through the wardrobe into a world of wonder, with festive magic for everyone who comes along.

It's part of a wider run of Christmas events that Saint Catherine's puts on as the festive period approaches. The hospice (Charity Reg. No. 284701) runs its own Christmas programme, and these events are free and open to everyone, so you don't need to worry about tickets or booking ahead. If you've been to the fair in previous years, you'll know the general setup, but the Narnia theme gives this one its own particular look and feel.

The fair runs from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on the Saturday, so it's a daytime thing rather than an evening one. It's held at the hospice itself, on Throxenby Lane in Scarborough (YO12 5RE), and because it's free and open to all, it's as easy to drop into as any other local Christmas market. If you're in the area that weekend, it's a straightforward way to get some festive spirit going early in the season.
