TRADERS, makers and small businesses are invited to take part in Pool Academy’s Christmas market, taking place on Friday, November 28, from 5pm to 8pm in the school’s main hall.

The event will raise vital funds for students who are planning a 2026 expedition to Kenya. During the trip, students will help build classrooms, improve access to clean water, support wildlife conservation and develop essential life skills.

Local traders looking to showcase products, meet new customers and support a meaningful cause are encouraged to book a table for £10, along with a small raffle prize donation.

Pool Academy principal Nick Ward said: “The Christmas market is a fantastic opportunity to come together, have fun, and support our students in their life changing fundraising efforts.”
