The festive season is just around the corner, and Swindon-based Vygon UK is bringing the holiday spirit to life with its very first Christmas Fayre. Taking place on Thursday, 5th December, from 4pm to 8pm, the event will be held at the historic Pierre Simonet Building – a landmark famously opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1998 and known for its appearances in two James Bond films.
This family-friendly evening promises to be a wonderful way to get into the festive mood while supporting two important local charities. All proceeds from the event will go directly to Threshold, which assists homeless and vulnerable people in Swindon, and Age UK Wiltshire, which provides crucial services for older residents across Swindon and Wiltshire.
Visitors to the Vygon Christmas fayre will be spoilt for choice, with more than 50 craftspeople and local businesses setting up shop. Stalls will offer a variety of goods perfect for Christmas shopping, including handmade jewellery, bath and beauty products, toys, and artisanal creations.
Among the exhibitors are Karpinski Art Design, Nesso Gifts, White Horse Soap Company, Let’s Glow Aromatherapy, and Mama’s Sweet Treats. Seasonal treats such as mulled wine will also be available to keep shoppers warm as they browse.
Katie Kingston, Head of Marketing and Communications at Vygon UK, shared her thoughts on the importance of the event: The holidays can be one of the toughest times of the year for people facing homelessness, and it is also a time when the elderly feel most isolated and lonely,”
“Threshold and Age UK Wiltshire offer incredible support to the homeless, elderly and vulnerable, not just during the holidays but all year round. At Vygon, we are committed to giving back to the community that we are part of, and we are proud to host this event to help spread some festive cheer and support these vital services.”
Entry to the fayre is completely free, and onsite parking will also be provided at no cost, making it a perfect outing for the whole family.
Don’t miss out on this magical evening of giving, celebration, and holiday cheer. Whether you’re looking for that perfect Christmas gift or just want to soak up the festive atmosphere, Vygon’s Christmas Fayre is the place to be this December.
