Christchurch Rudolf Steiner School's Spring Fair

Magic returns to Ōtautahi as Christchurch Rudolf Steiner School's Spring Fair opens its gates.

 

Christchurch Rudolf Steiner School will open its gates for its beloved annual Spring Fair on Sunday 31 October, a much-loved community event that blends old-world charm with hands-on fun for children and families across Canterbury.

Held on the school grounds at 19 Ombersley Terrace, Opawa from 10am to 3pm, the Spring Fair is the school's largest fundraiser of the year. Money raised is used to directly support children in the classroom, funding teacher aides and learning resources that support the school's special character education.

A fan favourite of the day is Fairyland, a magical, beautifully decorated space in the kindergarten area where young children can visit the Fairyland Café for vegetarian friendly, childrens treats. Think rice bubble cakes, fruit skewers and frozen chocolate-dipped bananas. Children can try their luck at fishing games and ladybug-hunting, and visit the sunflower store to buy a bloom or plant their very own sunflower seed to take home.

Elsewhere across the fair, visitors will find:

•     A craft store of handmade Steiner-style treasures made by parents, from felted birthday crowns and jewellery to handmade wooden dollhouses and toys

•     A candle-dipping stall, pre-loved clothing store, plant stall, white elephant stall, and salad, ice treats and tea & cake stores

•     Community and small-business stalls from local small businesses

•     Fairy face painting and handmade imaginative toys such as fairy and butterfly wings

•     Games, ride on toys, live music, and a bouncy castle for the kids

"Our Fair is a vibrant community endeavour, with so many people giving their time, energy and creativity to bring it to life. Year after year, visitors tell us it’s the best school fair in Christchurch - something our whole community can feel incredibly proud of." says Carlene of the Community Association.

The Spring Fair is open to the public and entry is FREE. Families are encouraged to bring cash for stalls, food and rides with cash out being available for a small charge.
