First Christmas fair of St Wilfrid's Hospice with market stalls, handmade gifts, festive food and drink, pottery painting, a raffle and a Father Christmas experience.
St Wilfrid's Hospice is hosting its first-ever Christmas Fair on Saturday 28 November, with a ticketed launch evening the night before. It's a new addition to the hospice's calendar, and they've pitched the weekend as a joyful day out for the whole family, full of Christmas magic and seasonal treats. Every pound raised goes to support the hospice.
The main event is the fair itself, which runs from 11am to 4pm on Saturday. There'll be Christmas market stalls with handmade gifts to browse, pottery painting to get stuck into, and a festive raffle to enter. On the food and drink side, you can grab a glass of mulled wine while you wander. If you're bringing the kids, there's a Father Christmas experience for £8 per child, though that one needs booking in advance.
If you'd rather start things early, there's a launch evening on Friday 27 November from 7pm to 9pm. Tickets are £10 and include a drink, a glass of mulled wine, and a mince pie. It's a separate, ticketed affair, so you'll want to sort that one ahead of time if you're planning to go.

Both parts of the weekend take place at St Wilfrid's Hospice, 1 Broadwater Way, Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN22 9PZ. For the Saturday fair, there's a suggested donation of £3 per person on the door. Between the launch evening and the main fair, it's a full weekend of festive bits to pick from, depending on whether you're after a quiet drink on Friday night or a family day out on Saturday.
