Hospice in the Weald brings festive cheer with Christmas Market
16th November
Hospice in the Weald has announced it will be bringing tidings of joy at the end of November with its annual traditional Christmas Market.
Held at the Hospice in Pembury, from 10am-4pm on Saturday 26th– Sunday 27th November, over 40 stalls beneath marquees in the beautiful gardens will offer a range of gifts to buy, from artisan Lancashire cheese bombs to Italian leather handbags.
For a donation of £5 shoppers will be able to browse the eclectic collection of local, seasonal and handmade goods on offer, while hot drink and food stalls along with some festive singing will add extra Christmas cheer. Children will also have the chance to meet the Hospice’s ever popular Father Christmas in his magical grotto (£5 per child). Be sure to book in advance via the website to avoid disappointment.
If you want to beat the rush, the Hospice is also offering a VIP experience on Friday 25th November from 6pm-8.30pm which includes a glass of bubbly and canapes. Tickets cost £20 and are available to book on the website.
The Christmas market will help to raise vital funds for Hospice in the Weald, which provides care and support completely free of charge to patients with a terminal illness – and those important to them – in West Kent and northern East Sussex.
Jesse Ansbro-Brett, Relationship Fundraising Manager, commented: “We’ve pulled out all the stops to bring the best stall holders around with an incredible selection of gifts and festive goodies to choose from. Not only that – we will also have festive singing, Father Christmas, a raffle and a hog roast. There’s no need to go abroad this year for festive cheer – come to our Christmas market instead where you will not only be supporting local businesses – you will also be supporting our vital work in the community.”
