MDXmas Market brings Christmas magic to campus and raises over £1,000 for charities in the process
Students and the children of Barnet refused to let inclement weather dampen their yuletide spirits at Thursday's annual MDXmas Market,
taking to the ice rink, feeding real reindeer, visiting Santa's Grotto,
eating festive food, playing games run by MDXSU and MDX Sport
and riding rides all in the name of charity. Also on offer were over forty stalls manned by Middlesex students, staff and alumni to help shoppers find their perfect Christmas present.
Despite
the rain, Christmas came to the Scholars Courtyard on our Hendon
campus, bringing with it music, magic and merriment and successfully raising over £1,000 for a number of charities.
Inayat
Patel, a Marketing student who assisted with the running of the market,
said "It's really inspiring to see students, staff, MDXSU and alumni
coming together. It showcases how great MDX people really are - and to
do some good at the same time? – It's all just too wondrous."
Local
school children from the Barnet area queued up to visit Father
Christmas in his Grotto while parents bought gifts from market stalls
weighted with products handmade by Middlesex students and staff
including knitted jewellery, personalised t-shirts, photography and
decorations.
"I've bought a knitted iphone case,
eaten my weight in blue candyfloss and fed a real reindeer from my
hand." Inayat added. "I'm so happy."
