Christmas PopUp Shop - Sat 1st Nov 2025 10am-4pm
Christmas Pop-Up Shop – The festive season starts here!
Join us on Saturday 1st Nov, 10am–4pm in our Fundraising Office
(next to The Honesty Jar shop)
Our amazing volunteers have cherry-picked lovely bits from this year’s festive donations — twinkly decor, cosy jumpers, festive accessories, and lots of special treasures perfect for gifting or adding a little magic to your home.
There’ll be heaps more Christmas stock going out in the main shop from mid-November, but this pop-up is a sneak peek and a special fundraiser to help us keep The Honesty Jar running strong through the winter.
Everything is pre-loved, affordable, and packed with festive cheer, and every contribution supports your volunteer-run community reuse project right here in Henstridge.
