The much-loved CAWC Charity Christmas Bazaar returns to Gerrards Cross on Sunday, 8 November 2026 for its 39th year, following last year’s fundraising success of close to £30,000 in support of our chosen charities, Scannappeal and Robin Sings Trust.

More than 60 carefully selected independent retailers, artisan makers and food producers will come together at the Crowne Plaza Gerrards Cross for a festive day of shopping, food and fundraising, all organised entirely by volunteers from the Chiltern American Women’s Club (CAWC).

This year’s theme, Tinsel & Tiaras, will bring a little extra sparkle to an event that has become a firm fixture in the local festive calendar.

Following the success of last year’s partnership, CAWC is delighted to once again support Scannappeal. Every pound raised will stay local, helping Scannappeal fund life-changing equipment and projects for Buckinghamshire’s NHS hospitals and supporting patients and families across the county.

Louisa Keating, Co-Chair of the Chiltern American Women’s Club, said:

“The Bazaar has always been about bringing our community together at the start of the festive season. There is something very special about seeing so many volunteers, local businesses and visitors come together, and knowing that every ticket, raffle entry, slice of cake and gift hamper helps support local patients makes the day even more meaningful.”

For 39 years, the Bazaar has brought together local businesses, volunteers and visitors from across the Chilterns and surrounding areas, combining independent shopping with some much-loved traditions created by CAWC members themselves.

Among the highlights are the Bazaar’s beautifully presented themed Christmas gift hampers, assembled over many weeks by volunteers and eagerly snapped up each year as gifts for teachers, neighbours, friends, family and colleagues.
