Christmas Volunteers for Marché de Noël a La Giraudière

This year La Giraudiere through its association, Les Amis de la Giraudière, will be opening it’s doors to Christmas volunteers from around the globe. The Christmas volunteers are needed to help put in place three different events, all of which are Christmas related.

One of the main events will be a Christmas Market or Marché de Noël where roasted chesnuts and hot wine will be sold and local arts and crafts can come and exhibit their goods and skills.

The association is thinking of the Sunday the 22nd of December as the date for the Christmas market at La Giraudiere. The date is probably the correct one, as this will give time for the international volunteers to arrive, settle in and prepare for this event.

Preparation will take the form of marketing and apart from the internet a lot of the marketing will be done on the ground. Visiting the already established markets and distributing flyers so both exhibitors and public become aware of the new venue.

Once the marketing is done then there is the setting up and the transforming of La Giraudiere into a small Christmas paradise with all the usual and unusual decorations and tinsel.

The prices for exhibitors will be 10 euros per place (or table).  2 tables will be 20 euros and so on. There will also be a reduced price for exterior exhibitors and that is to be 5 euros per table.

The main theme of the market is Christmas and therefore those exhibitors selling Christmas related products would be given preference followed by arts and crafts.

This is only one of the events planned for this year there are two others for more information visit the website at Christmas in France and maybe you could be a Christmas Volunteer this year
