Shipston Home Nursing is delighted that its popular Christmas Gift Fair is returning to Ettington Community Centre this year, and that the event will be face to face rather than virtual.
Shoppers will have a chance to start (or finish) their Christmas shopping at the Gift Fair on Tuesday 16th from 5.30pm-8.30pm and Wednesday 17th from 9.30am-3pm November. Entrance is £5 and includes coffee and a homemade biscuit.
Rebecca Mawle, Head of Fundraising for Shipston Home Nursing, said: “Our gift fair is one of the highlights of the festive season. Last year we held it virtually, but of course, it wasn’t quite the same. We are really looking forward to seeing our stall holders and supporters face to face this year.”
The fair, which is always popular, is a great opportunity to shop locally for Christmas presents and be inspired by the individual artisan stalls selling delicious food and beautiful gifts, including hand-made jewellery, ceramics, candles, locally made crafts, Christmas cards and decorations. The Food Hall will be selling local produce, Paddock Farm Butchery, Jane Spencer Christmas Cakes and Chocolates, Granary Oils, Auntie’s Sauces, Uig Lodge delicious Smoked Salmon, and Spirit of Ilmington. Homemade lunch to include various soups on Wednesday will be provided by our hard-working team of volunteers.
The sale will raise vital funds for the charity, which offers a free ‘hospice at home’ service for people with a life limiting illness, who live in Shipston on Stour, Wellesbourne, Kineton and surrounding villages.
