Springhill Hospice Christmas Extravaganza offers a bigger and better seasonal treat

Springhill Hospice Christmas Fair with Father Christmas on Sunday 19 November

Springhill Hospice has a bigger and better seasonal treat in store for supporters old and new at this year's Christmas Fair.

Sunday 19 November will see the grounds of the Broad Lane Hospice transformed into a Winter Wonderland, the like of which visitors have never seen before.

Sophie Ansley, Springhill's new Events and Corporate Fundraiser said: "Each year, at the end of November, we open the doors of the Hospice and welcome hundreds of bargain hunters to sample the delights of our Christmas Fair. It's one of most popular events in our calendar and a must for all seasonal shoppers.

"In the past, the popularity of our fair sees the rooms and corridors of the Hospice packed full of stalls and supporters. To be able to offer visitors more by increasing what's on offer would be impossible. But this year we've made a huge change to enable more people to take advantage of this fabulous day out."

This year Springhill's Christmas extravaganza will still be at the Hospice but will housed in a huge, heated, winter wonderland marquee.

In addition, the Day Hospice will be transformed into a food court, so people can enjoy a leisurely festive bite to eat in spacious comfort, along with outdoor stalls and, of course, Santa's Grotto.

With new opening times of 11.00am until 4.00pm visitors will be able to able to browse stalls selling everything from handbags to candles, cards to chocolates and jewellery to jigsaws.

The Fair will showcase favourites from last year plus new stalls, all offering Christmas gifts galore, tombolas, crafts, raffles, games and toys.
