VILLAGERS will have the chance to finish off their Christmas shopping early while raising vital hospice funds.

A fundraising Christmas gift fair in aid of St Clare Hospice will take place at Theydon Bois village hall, in Coppice Row, on Wednesday November 14.

Stalls will be selling everything from candles, pottery, ceramics, jewellery and scarves to wooden toys, flower arrangements, garden gifts, cards, calendars and knitwear.

Hospice community fundraiser Camilla Wood said: “We are offering those special gifts that you would be hard pressed to find on the high street.

“The fair will be a great opportunity to get all your Christmas shopping done under one roof.”

The event will run from 10.30am until 3.30pm and admission is £3 for adults and free for children.

Homemade refreshments and cakes will be available.
