Some 2,500 celebrated the holiday season at the East Grinstead Christmas Fair December 11, hosted by Saint Hill, Church of Scientology spiritual headquarters for the UK, and Saint Hill Manor, the UK home of Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard from 1959-1967.​

It was a magical Saturday afternoon for the kids, with Santa in his grotto, reindeer to feed and pet, a man-sized “Minion”, and rides on Lennie the Land Train. Youngsters also climbed aboard a fire engine and played in a bouncy house.

I want to thank the Church of Scientology for going to great lengths to organize all these activities and stalls. There really was something for everyone who visited.

Dick Sweatman, East Grinstead Councilor

The Great Hall was transformed into a Christmas Market where local artisans and craftsmen displayed their wares at 30 stalls. And hundreds of visitors spent the afternoon at East Grinstead’s very first ice rink.

“I came to support the Saint Hill Christmas Fair and was amazed to see just how successful it was,” said Councilor Dick Sweatman. “I want to thank the Church of Scientology for going to great lengths to organize all these activities and stalls. There really was something for everyone who visited.”
