If you aren't flying back to Sweden this Christmas but still want to celebrate the holidays with all the right trimmings and decorations, then the Swedish Church's Christmas Fair is the place to go to. Entry is only £1 and children gets in for free. The fair is open to everyone and all the staff speaks English. 

STALLS:
Decorations for the Christmas tree, home and table, beautiful glass artifacts from the Swedish glass works, masses of candles and candle sticks, the famous straw goats, chocolates, candy and Swedish “godis”, Swedish books and calendars and greeting cards, toys by the ton, traditional Swedish textiles, tablecloths and linens and lots of ideas for your Christmas gifts.

FOOD STALLS: 
Fine-foods from all over Sweden and Swedish Lapland, including smoked reindeer and moose, gravid lax (marinated salmon), löjrom - the exclusive, deep reddish-gold caviar (vendace roe) and the pink fleshed Swedish Arctic char (a tasty member of the trout family), plus cloudberries, lingonberries, cheeses, cured hams and a selection of Swedish crisp-breads, biscuits and cakes.

PRIZES: 
  • There's a traditional “Fiskdamm”, a lucky-dip the little ones adore 
  • Tombola with a huge number of excellent prizes 
  • Massive raffle with luxury prizes, holidays and travel vouchers 
FESTIVE TABLE: 
There’s so much to keep you interested you’ll need a snack and some festive cheer to keep you going, so in addition to a mulled wine stall selling traditional hot Swedish Glögg, there are kiosks selling hot-dogs or yellow-pea-soup with warm Punsch, and in the Church a large café serving freshly made Swedish open sandwiches (including our famous prawn sandwiches and meatballs,) and Swedish Princess cake, coffees, teas, buns and cakes.
