With December just around the corner, now is the time to get excited about Christmas!
Let the good tidings roll with this lovely mix of school and community events for kids and parents, all proudly sponsored by our community partners, Marsh & Parsons.
You might see them serving mulled wine, handing out mince pies, manning Santa’s grotto or just generally lending a helping hand, so do say hello!
Where: Tufnell Park
Eleanor Palmer Primary School Christmas Fair is full to the brim with wintery fun!
