ST Thomas-on-the Bourne Church in Farnham, is hosting its Christmas market on Saturday, December 3, with all of the proceeds going straight to Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice.

A lively, festive market is planned with a wide variety of stalls offering unique and individual Christmas gifts and stocking fillers to kick off the season in style.

The stalls will stock everything from homemade jams and preserves, cakes and savouries, to unusual Christmas tree decorations, paper Christmas trees, Christmas table ware and delightful collectable Santa’s, elves and robins, all made out of wood and cleverly decorated.

There will be garden items, books, handbags, scarves, toys and a tombola, to keep shoppers busy. Alongside this there will be an array of high value gifts in the raffle and silent auction, kindly donated by many local businesses, to whom the organisers owe a huge debt of gratitude.

The event, which takes place from 10am to 12.30pm, is run by a small team of volunteers, who work hard to make it a happy morning for their visitors.

Refreshments will be provided as part of the entrance donation and a warm welcome is assured for everyone.

The organisers hope the market will be enjoyable getting everyone into the festive spirit at the same time as raising much-needed funds for the hospice.
