As the frost settles and the fairy lights are packed away, we’re still glowing from the warmth and joy of Gorebridge Beacon Winterfest 2024. Held in the heart of our community, this year’s event was a true celebration of creativity, connection, and winter magic.
Highlights from Week
Winter in the Garden
Our garden space was transformed into a twinkling wonderland, draped in fairy lights and full of charm. It became the perfect place to pause, take in the magic, and snap a few festive photos.
Live Music
Inside, the hall was filled with the sound of live local talent. From acoustic sets to joyful seasonal sing-alongs, the music brought warmth and energy to every corner of the Beacon.
Breakfast with Santa
We kicked things off with one of the most magical moments of the day—Breakfast with Santa. Little ones enjoyed a cozy morning meal while meeting the big man himself. There were smiles, stories, and plenty of excitement as Santa listened to Christmas wishes and posed for festive photos.
Christmas Crafts & Wreath Making
Craft tables were buzzing with activity all day long! Children (and more than a few adults) got stuck into festive crafts, while our wreath-making sessions offered a slower, creative space for people to get hands-on and take home something beautiful.
Craft Fair
Our craft fair featured an inspiring selection of local makers and small businesses. From handmade gifts to tasty treats, it was a great way to support local and find something unique for under the tree.
Thank You: we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who made Winterfest possible—our volunteers, workshop leaders, stallholders, musicians, and all of you who came along and filled the day week joy.
