Winter Market

Every December Β· Market + Gingerbread + Young Entrepreneurs

Our festive Winter Market fills the gym with vendors, a bake sale, hot chocolate, mulled cider, and the ever-popular Gingerbread House Competition. The star of the show? Our Young Entrepreneurs section, where kids run their own market stalls just like the grown-ups.
