Our Events
Galette des Rois
After the excitement of Christmas and New Year, we celebrate Epiphany with the traditional Galette de Roi. This is a great get-together where we eat galettes, drink and catch up after the Christmas holidays.
Saint Patrick's Day
What could be a better way to celebrate Saint Patricks day than with a quiz night! Bring your team for some drinks and good company! The winning team goes home with a
Easter egg hunt
Our Easter egg hunt is suitable for children and adults alike. Unlike traditional Easter egg hunts, children hunt for clues and solve riddles and puzzles to win chocolate Easter eggs! It is usually held in the forest near Insead if the weather is good, with a picnic afterwards.
Family Bluebell Walk
In April and May, when the weather finally becomes warmer, we venture into the forest in search of bluebells. Every year this event attracts many viewers as it’s a spectacular sight – the whole forest floor is filled up with beautiful white and purple flowers.
Annual BBQ
In July we organise a before break BBQ at a local campsite. It’s a great opportunity for everyone to get together to talk about their summer plans, enjoy the hot weather and grab a beer or two.
Gala
The gala is one of our biggest events of the year! We hire out a venue in Fontainebleau and have an evening of eating, drinking, dancing and socialising. We also hire a band to entertain us with English and French songs throughout the evening. This is definitely an occasion to dress-up in your finest glad-rags, put on your dancing shoes, let your hair down and have some fun!
Welcome Back Tea
At Crossroads we love to get together and celebrate! A great opportunity to drink tea, eat cake and make new friends!
Welcome Back Drinks
At Crossroads we really love to get together and celebrate! A great opportunity to have a drink and make new friends in a local bar in Fontainebleau.
Mushroom Hunt
A great annual family outing in the forest of Fontainebleau between October and November. Don’t worry if you are not familiar with mushrooms; we are always accompanied by one of our members who is a mushroom expert and can help you identify which mushrooms are edible and which should be avoided!
Le circuit de 25 bosses
The 25 bosses is a walk of about 16km but don’t be fooled into thinking it is easy! There are 25 hills to climb, rocks to squeeze through and climb over, and narrow paths to navigate. It is not for the unfit or faint hearted!
Come and join us if you fancy a challenge!
Dog walks
We also have 4 legged members who like to get together with their owners for a morning walk in the Fontainebleau forest. If your dog needs some new doggie friends, this is the place to come!
Halloween Party
What would October be without Halloween? Come and join in the fun with Crossroads! Each year we organise a ‘spooktacular’ celebration for all ghouls, big or small. We have crafts and activities for the little ones, potluck and drinks for the adults.
Winter celebration
For the long winter months, we have a line-up of events to warm your hearts and keep you feeling festive! Join us for our Christmas coffee morning, winter gouter, ice-skating, wreath making workshops, Christmas-cookie bake-off, unwanted gift exchange and mince pie making!
