THE annual Daylesford Christmas Fair is featuring a number of exciting debut exhibitors.

The Christmas Fair in the Cotswolds, takes place from Monday November 7 to Wednesday November 9 showcasing products ahead of the Christmas rush.

Mobs London, a lifestyle brand for young men and Abanha, a collection of bath, body and home fragrance products are amongst the debutants.

Organiser of The Christmas Fair in the Cotswolds, Lucy Greaves from Bazaar Events, said, “The Christmas Fair is a highlight in the local calendar; an opportunity to get Christmas in order and most importantly to help WellChild, an organisation that does amazing work for seriously ill children across the UK.

"We strive to bring exciting and emerging small batch makers together, we are really delighted at the collection of suppliers we have brought together this year.”

The fair raises funds for WellChild, the national charity for seriously ill children.

WellChild CEO Colin Dyer said: “We are indebted to the fabulous team of volunteers who have worked so hard to make this event the success it is, growing every year.

"There are more children with exceptional health needs than ever before in the UK which means the funds raised are vital in helping WellChild ensure these children are given the best chance to thrive at home, together with their families.”

Returning stand-holders include Frangipani showcasing handblock printed quilts, tablecloths, nurseryware and partycoats.

David Farquhar will also return with smoked products and both of these have supported the event for more than 15 years.
