Christmas at Furtho

- October 24, 2025

Christmas is a special period of the year wherever you go and that is no different at Furtho. Despite the difficulties which winter presents on the farm, the comfort of the Christmas feeling and the special opportunities which the festive period allows certainly make it worth it. Whilst we haven't had a white Christmas at Furtho in several years, the frosty ground in the mornings, bare trees and crisp weather creates a beautiful wintery picture throughout the farm.

Every year at Furtho we host various festive events. These include the Carol Service in St Bartholomew's Church attended by people from the local villages, raising money from the Churches Conservation Trust, a charity which takes care of over 350 historical churches in Britain, including St Bartholomew's. Alongside this, each year, we pick another chosen charity to raise donations for.

Thistlerose florals hired Furtho East for a couple of years to run wreath making workshops. Below are some examples of the wreaths made during these workshops.

In addition to these festive events, Furtho is open for hire all year long and the barn and church are able to be utilised in a very special way during the festive period. We have multiple heaters which can be used in the barn, allowing the barn to be kept warm to keep guests comfortable. However, our favourite element of winter events is the ability to light the candles in the church. When the church is hired, there is the choice for the candles to be lit, and it allows for beautiful illumination of the church, both during ceremonies, but also for pictures, as seen below.

Over the last few years we have hosted various festive parties for different companies. Below are some pictures from the Kinetic Christmas party fit with lights, games and more.

For the last few years we have also held a Christmas Fair.

This year our Christmas Fair is on Sunday 16th November from 11am to 4pm in aid of Spinal Injuries Association.

We have a fabulous group of stall holders with jewellery, home accessories, candles, toys, beauty products and gifts. There was also brilliant food available with Pizza from Anchor Farm, ice cream from Your Cool, cakes from Something Different and hot drinks.

We hope to see lots of you here for our Christmas Fair.
