Chorlton High School Winter Fayre

Last year Chorlton High School held a very successful Winter Fayre. All the proceeds that the school raised were donated to their linked school in Chisila, Africa. They raised over £1,500 which the small community school in zambia used to train local volunteers, and buy much needed resources for pupils.

Chorlton High School are holding another Winter Fayre this year on Saturday 14th December 2013, 11am-1pm. The cost of a stall is £10 for two tables (tables are provided). Last year they had a vast array of stalls such as cakes, jams, honey, homemade wrapping paper, toys, sweets, gifts, jewellery, plants, cards etc. To enable Chorlton High School to have the success they had last year they would be grateful for your support if you were to book a table.

If you are interested and would like to book a stall or know more about the event, please email admin@chorltonhigh.manchester.sch.uk
