St Michael's Hospice is the beneficiary of a charity fair on Friday, November 29 and Saturday, November 30

It will take place against the backdrop of Preston Court, near Dymock, home to the event's organiser and interior designer Rosery Ford.

She has used her extensive list of designer contacts to attract more than two dozen stallholders offering early Christmas shoppers everything from alpaca knitwear to amber jewellery and lots of Christmas novelties, decorations and stocking fillers.

The event aims to raise thousands of pounds for the hospice.

The £3 admission includes a complimentary glass of warm mulled wine. It is open 5.30pm to 9pm on Friday, 10am-4pm on Saturday.
