If an outside catering company is dealing with the food, this leaves you free to come up with some great money-making stalls to bring in that extra cash for your organisation. Provided you have time to organise an event liquor license, then cups of mulled wine can make huge margins. Rides are also popular with families and often outside companies will come in and then give you a percentage of their profits. Encourage the local kids to get crafty and make some Christmas tree decorations or stockings – these are also huge sellers just before Christmas.
Holding a Christmas fayre can be a great way to make a bit of extra money for your school, preschool, sports club or community group, but coming up with a suitable food stall and finding someone to run it can be more hassle than necessary.
