Maggie's Cancer Centre hosts first Christmas fair in Aberdeen As well as keeping the spirits of its users up, the cancer respite centre will also be getting into the festive spirit by joining forces with local vintage events company Candy Belle Vintiques to host its very own Christmas fair. The centre will be transformed on Thursday, December 12, as it becomes festooned in festivities with handmade and boutique stalls lining the walls to assist shoppers with their Christmas lists. Festive Treats For a £5 entrance fee, shoppers can enjoy a mince pie and a glass of warming mulled wine as they peruse the stalls from 5.30pm until 8.30pm. The Archie Foundation will be on hand to help with your Christmas wrapping for a donation, so dig deep to save yourself from being covered in tape and tinsel on Christmas eve. Tasty Teas Around the World in 80 Teas will also be partnering up with the vintage company to bring their popular tea tasting events to the fair and for just £10, participants can learn all about crafting the perfect cuppa and sampling some unique tea blends in the process. Two slots are available to book for 6pm and 7.15pm and spaces can be reserved by email with £5 going directly to Maggies.
