Gifts, cards, decorations, food and sweet treats lined up for Stansted Fire Station’s Christmas fair

Stansted fire station is opening its doors to visitors on Friday (Nov 15) for its annual Christmas fair.

The crew are hosting an afternoon and evening of festive fun from 3.30pm until 7pm – and will be hoping they don’t have to attend any emergency call-outs!

The fair follows on from the station’s successful Hallowe’en event in which people flocked to show off their fancy dress costumes and meet firefighters.

Friday’s event will see the Chapel Hill crew hosting stalls including Mix and More Sweets, Smoke BBQ Kitchen, children’s face painting and festive gifts, cards and decorations on sale.

Firefighters will chat to visitors about their work and youngsters will be able to clamber aboard the fire engines.

The station’s Hallowe’en fancy dress competition resulted in the crew delivering packs of sweets to five young winners. They pulled up outside their homes in the fire engine, much to the children’s delight.
