A HOSPICE will hold its annual Christmas fair next week.

St Cuthbert's Hospice, in Durham, will host the event on Saturday, November 14, between 11am and 3pm.

There will be festive food and gifts with stall holders from across the region showcasing home accessories, jewellery, beauty products, Christmas cards and treats.

There will be a raffle and tombola and children can visit a Santa's Grotto.

Caroline Broadfoot, a hospice fundraiser, said: "The Christmas fair is a wonderful festive tradition of the hospice. The event is open to all and is the perfect chance to get into the Christmas spirit with the local community."
