THE Combined Charities Christmas Fayre, which raises thousands of pounds for local charities, will be held in Cirencester later this month.

The festive shopping day, which is organised each year by Cirencester Hospital League of Friends, will be held at the Corn Hall on Monday November 17th.

More than 20 charities have already signed up but there are still spaces for charities that would like to have a stall.

Christmas gifts, cards, books and toys will be on offer along with cakes and refreshments.

To find out more or to book a table, contact Cirencester Hospital League of Friends by telephoning Sheila Rees on 01285 655942.
