ST JAMES' PARK FESTIVE FAYRE - 10 REASONS OUR EVENT IS TOO GOOD TO MISS!

It might still be a month away, but we're counting down the days until our Festive Fayre!

If you haven't already got your tickets, here's ten reasons you should join us!

1. The Exhibitors - We're giving you ten reasons our event is too good to miss, but we could easily give you 140 - and counting! - our fantastic exhibitors! We're thrilled to welcome each and every one of them to our event, and whether you're looking for inspiration with decorations, bespoke festive novelties, the perfect gift or simply something to treat yourself, we guarantee you won't be disappointed, and you won't be leaving empty handed!

2. The Children's Zone - Last year our Children's Zone was packed to burst - and this year it's even bigger and better! From crafts with the Creation Station to slime making with Ambassadors of Science, we've got plenty to keep the whole family occupied!

3. Light up a Life with the Salvation Army - We're thrilled to be supporting the Salvation Army on their Christmas Present Appeal, as we aim to ensure no child is left without a present to open on Christmas morning! Our sleigh will once again be set up in reception, where last year we collected around 400 gifts to be distributed in the North East - and this year we're keen to surpass that figure!

4. The NUFC Fans Foodbank - We're also once again supporting the NUFC Fans Foodbank as they build on their fantastic work so far in 2018. With in excess of 1,000 food parcels distributed within the North East each week, demand for resource is often greater than supply, making donations essentially important, and we aim to do all we can to support a worthwhile cause!

5. Food Glorious Food - Not only have our award winning catering team prepared a fantastic festive menu for both our café and restaurant, we're joined by some of the very best local traders serving up the very best of food and beverage - from Whitley Bay Brewing Company to Sconedrops, The Cumbrian Pie Company to Nibble Nose Cheese - you'll be spoilt for choice!

6. The Entertainment - Our event really is all singing and all dancing - and our entertainment programme is enough to ensure all our guests are feeling festive! We're thrilled to be joined by Little Voices Newcastle, Razzamataz Newcastle, The Military Wives Choir, The Salvation Army and the Tyne Theatre Stage School for the weekend!

7. The Venue - Why not make the most of your surroundings and take a festive highlight tour of our iconic venue? From the highest point in our stadium you'll have a birds eye view of the city, while you can also follow in Rafa?s footsteps, stepping out in to the dugout for a picture perfect photo opportunity.

8. The Demonstrations - There's something in our demonstration schedule for everyone - from a cocktail masterclass (with samples!) with the incredible Mr Mixologist to a wreath making workshop from St Oswalds Hospice, you won't want to miss out!

9. Santa's Grotto - No Christmas would be complete without a visit to Santa?s Grotto! Be sure to stop by our festive post box, where we?re preparing to send your letters direct to the North Pole, before joining us in our magical Santa?s Grotto! After consulting the ?Naughty & Nice? list head Elf Judy will show children in to the Grotto, where they can share their Christmas wishes with Santa himself! Those on the nice list will also receive a special Christmas gift!

10. Tis the Season to be Jolly! - The Petite Prosecco Company will have prosecco flowing, while The AlcoBox will be serving up some fantastic gin cocktails! Why not kick start Christmas with us?

Don't just take our word for it however, why not book your tickets today and experience it for yourself?
