If your group chat is already asking “What are we doing before Christmas?”, here’s an easy answer. We’re starting the month with one of our favourite community events of the year: the Wine & Wean Christmas Fete at Big Penny Social.
3 December — Wine & Wean Christmas Fete at Big Penny Social
Whether you’re a seasoned Weaner, a first-time parent, or simply someone who enjoys a festive afternoon that doesn’t involve fluorescent lighting, this event is a gentle, genuinely joyful way to ease into December.
Expect a relaxed, family-friendly Christmas market with thoughtful stalls and a warm, calm atmosphere.
What’s Pouring
A curated lineup of four wines
Paired with four festive cheeses
Expect elegant, easy-drinking bottles that work just as well with a pram in tow as they do with a snack plate.
Pop-Up Stalls
Browse slowly, shop small, and discover things people genuinely want. This year’s stalls include:
OR Collective – sustainable, design-led clothing and accessories
Mini Garms Gang – children’s clothing and preloved favourites
Talou – beautifully crafted accessories and gifts
Pamper Puff – our mini nail bar offering quick, fuss-free manicures
Why We Love It
Wine & Wean has become a real pocket of calm in the festive rush: a place to sip, browse, chat, and take a moment. Think prams everywhere, babies snoozing through cheese tastings, and parents managing pastries in one hand while getting their nails done.
