The Winter Fair and Big Sleepout 2022

Start date: 5 February 2022
End date: 6 February 2022
Time: 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Location: St Giles' Church, Cambridge CB3 0AQ

From 1pm on 5 February we will be holding our winter fair at St Giles’ Church on Castle St in Cambridge, with live music, guest speakers, stalls selling cake, soup, art, books and clothes, and a raffle.

That evening over 20 brave volunteers will settle down to sleep in the church and its grounds, raising money for refugees in Europe and the local homeless of Cambridge.

You can sponsor them at justgiving.com/campaign/camcragsleepout2022

Find out more, including how to be a sponsored sleeper or help in other ways, at camcrag.org.uk/sleepout2022 – or just come along on Saturday 5 February and buy some cake!

From 1pm there will be a variety of stalls selling tea, cake, soup, and crafts made by refugees and our Poncho team.

This year for the first time we will have artwork for sale from over 25 local artists, including paintings, prints and ceramics. There will also be crafts made by refugees and our Poncho team, a large second hand book stall and our selection of vintage clothing for sale.

We will also be selling raffle tickets (don’t worry, we will take your phone number so you don’t need to stay for the draw if you need to leave).

Throughout the afternoon there will be live music, and at 3pm short speeches from representatives of CamCRAG and Cambridge Street Aid.

The raffle will be drawn at about 4pm, after which the public event will close and our sponsored sleepers will get ready for their night outdoors.
