Much-loved Christmas Fayre set to return to Whirlow Hall Farm
Whirlow Hall Farm Trust is preparing to welcome thousands of visitors to its annual Christmas Fayre
A much-loved annual Christmas market that helps raise vital funds for vulnerable children is set to return for 2026.
Whirlow Hall Farm Trust says that its Christmas Fayre is all set to deliver a weekend packed with festive entertainment, unique gifts, and magical experiences, with an event that brings the Sheffield community together while raising vital funds for vulnerable children and young people.
The farm will transform into a winter wonderland on November 28 and 29, with glowing lights, market stalls, and seasonal treats. Its curated market is set to feature local makers offering handmade gifts, festive decorations, artisan food, homeware, and stocking fillers. Visitors can also enjoy festive-inspired street food, sweet treats, mince pies, and drinks from the seasonal bar.
Family-friendly activities run throughout the weekend. Children can meet Santa in the farmhouse, make crafts, get their faces painted, and toast marshmallows by the fire pit, accompanied by live music from school choirs and local performers.
Attendees can also pick up a freshly cut Christmas tree and shop for seasonal produce or pre-ordered Whirlow Christmas meat at the Farm Shop.
Proceeds from tree sales, tickets, and refreshments directly support Whirlow Hall Farm Trust’s mission. Through its Whirlow LIFE (Learning in a Farming Environment) programmes, the charity provides educational and therapeutic hands-on farm activities tailored to young people with learning needs, disabilities, mental health challenges, or complex life circumstances, helping them build confidence and skills.
Whirlow Hall Farm Trust Fundraising Manager, Sarah Kerrigan, said: "Our annual Christmas Fayre is a highlight of the farm's festive calendar, and we love welcoming visitors from all over the city and further afield to kick off the festive season with us. Not only that, but it is also a crucial part of raising vital funds to support our work with the vulnerable children and young people we support through our education programmes on the farm."
The event marks the return of the much-loved annual event which is sponsored by GRI Group.
Whether shopping for unique gifts or establishing family traditions, the Fayre offers a festive day out that makes a real difference.
