Join us for a day that is bursting with festive fun!
Find your Christmas presents in the festive market, with over 50 stalls along Queensmead, packed full of gorgeous gifts, from local food and drink to handmade jewellery and unique Christmas decorations.
Families can enjoy walkabout street theatre, have a go at circus skills with Juggling Jake, build a Christmas shape from bricks, meet beautiful birds of prey, feed the donkeys, enjoy making Christmas decorations in the free children's crafts tent, watch giant bubble creations, have their faces painted – and much more!
Children can also meet Father Christmas in his grotto and bounce around in the giant snow globe for free. Over 100 performers from brass bands, local choirs and dance schools will take to the two stages to perform.
Farnborough Frost Fair is the biggest free family Christmas event in Rushmoor. Come along and soak up the seasonal atmosphere!
