Bazaar benefits many local groups throughout Ottawa and Sandy Hill

Mark your calendars for the Church of St. Bartholomew Annual Bazaar and Tea Room, taking place Saturday, November 1, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 125 MacKay St.

November 1 is less than a month away, and the St. Bart’s Bazaar is one of the most popular events in the fall calendar. Not only is it a great place to meet friends, enjoy tea together and see your neighbours, it also presents great tables of bargains, including antiques, gifts, jewellery, books, preserves, attic treasures, toys, games, crafts, knitting, Christmas decorations, and a superb bake table.

You will enjoy great shopping knowing that you are helping many important community causes and global relief initiatives. The 2024 Bazaar’s proceeds supported St. Bartholomew’s ministries and many other local initiatives, including the programs offered by the Rideau-Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre and Belong Ottawa. This latter organization provides safe spaces and fosters dignity for those who are homeless or precariously housed, with programming at The Well, St. Luke’s Table, and Sandy Hill’s Centre 454. It also benefited Alongside Hope (formerly Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund) which offers aid nationally and internationally for those affected by war, violence and natural disasters, and joins in right relations with Indigenous Peoples.

The St. Bart’s Bazaar has always been a success and it is mainly due to you!   We are only as good as the donations we receive! Should you be downsizing or wanting to dispose of items in your home, please consider donating to our bazaar. We always need unique souvenirs, classic tea sets, glass, costume and fine jewellery, books, attic treasures, toys, games, and any special, handmade items. Closer to the date, we would also appreciate home baking and preserves.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call either Liz or Linda (see contact information below). We would also be happy to pick up boxes from you!
