Homelessness charity Sussex Emmaus has announced the return of its much-loved Christmas Fair, taking place on Saturday 6 December, from 10am to 4pm, at the charity’s site in Brighton.
The festive fundraiser promises a day of Christmas cheer, featuring live music, delicious food, and plenty of shopping opportunities, to support people rebuilding their lives after homelessness.
Visitors can look forward to a wide range of attractions, including seasonal food and drinks, a children’s Christmas trail, charity partner stalls, Christmas outfits, toys, games, stocking fillers, plants, and locally grown Christmas trees. The event will also feature festive music from Sussex Emmaus’ resident DJ, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for shoppers throughout the day.
