Free Christmas fair with crafts, wreaths, handmade cards, cakes, an international food court and live music at the St Albans Salvation Army.
St Albans Salvation Army is hosting its Christmas fair on Saturday 28 November, a few weeks before the big day. It's one of those local markers that signals the season has properly arrived in the city, and it's free to enter, so you can just drift in for a look without having to commit to much more than your time.
The craft side of things is where you'll spend most of your energy. There are wreaths for the door, handmade cards for the people you haven't quite written to yet, and a good spread of cakes. If you're looking for something that doesn't come off a supermarket shelf, this is the place to find it. It's the kind of fair where the things on the tables are actually made by hand, not just boxed up and shipped in.
Beyond the crafts, there's an international food court, which is a nice change from the usual fair fare. It's a good spot to grab something to eat while you're there, and it means you can stay a while rather than just popping in and out. There's live music running throughout the day, too, so there's a bit of a soundtrack to the whole thing.
