Advent Fair 2025

You’re warmly invited to the Advent Fair at Michael Hall School!

Join us for a joyful day of warmth, cheer, and togetherness as we celebrate the season with our vibrant school community. Whether you’re a student, parent, friend, alumnus, or simply curious about our school, we’d love to welcome you to this special event.

This year’s Advent Fair promises a heartwarming atmosphere filled with music and festive spirit. Enjoy live performances from our talented students, with staff and parents joining in for carol singing around the grounds — and everyone is invited to sing along!

Treat yourself to warm drinks, homemade cakes, waffles, savoury bites, hearty hot soup, and a sizzling BBQ — with delicious gluten-free options available.

There’s magic and wonder for children and adults alike. Discover the enchanting gnome village or try your hand at the ever-popular candle-dipping, limited supply of tickets available from Reception on the day. For our littlest visitors, the Elfin Grove puppet show is sure to spark delight and imagination, while those with boundless energy can enjoy the jungle gym. Have a go at our Christmas crafts such as biscuit decorating and wooden ornaments.

Looking for meaningful Christmas gifts? Browse our beautiful selection of handmade crafts, including candles, festive wreaths, woodwork, woven goods, and traditional Waldorf decorations lovingly created by our Kindergarten parents. You’ll also find a curated collection of pre-loved Waldorf books and toys — perfect for holiday giving.

To help you capture the magic of the day, a professional photographer will be on site offering family portraits.

With so much to explore and enjoy, we recommend visiting the information point in Reception when you arrive to pick up details on activities, and to pre-purchase tickets for food or special events.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
