Come celebrate a festive, magical day for all ages at Michael Hall School, as we commemorate our centenary year! We warmly invite children, parents, friends, alumni, and all interested in joining our school to share in this unique occasion, uniting the community for a day of joy and tradition.

This year’s event will feature live music and performances, with harp and piano, student buskers showcasing their talents around the grounds, and plenty of singing. Enjoy restorative hot drinks, homemade cakes, waffles, mince pies, and savory delights like pizza, hot soup, and the BBQ, with gluten-free and vegan options available.

Activities abound for every age. Kids and adults can wander through the enchanting gnome home, or join in the beloved candle-dipping experience (tickets available in advance for earlier slots). The jungle gym awaits those with extra energy, and a captivating puppet show from Elfin Grove will entrance the little ones. Don’t miss the pocket money stall, where children can buy small gifts, or dive into gingerbread decorating and crafting wooden decorations. A professional photographer will also be onsite for family photos.

For unique Christmas gifts, explore our handmade crafts, including candles, limited edition Uwe Jacquet lanterns, Christmas wreaths, weaving items, woodwork, and beautifully crafted traditional Waldorf decorations by Kindergarten parents. Browse through a selection of pre-loved Waldorf books and toys, perfect for Christmas giving.

To honour this special milestone, join us for a traditional Gaelic Ceilidh dance from 6-8pm in the Mansion Hall’s Long Room, featuring live music (donation £5+; teachers and children enter free).

With so much to see and do, stop by the information point upon arrival to gather details on activities, purchase raffle tickets, and pre-buy food or event tickets. Candle-dipping begins at 11 am, with our opening ceremony at 11:15 am and the Eurythmy Performance at 4:30 pm (tickets at Michael Hall).
