They can also view the 5,000 Lights project which will feature 60 sparkling Christmas trees in the hospice grounds. Each tree is available to sponsor and either features a plaque dedicated to someone special or is sponsored by a local business.

Anyone interested in holding a stall should call 01942 525566 or email [email protected]. Stalls cost £30 each.
