The organisers of the Tynedale Gift Fair have chosen to support Tynedale Hospice at Home.

The fair, returning to the Tynedale Function Suite at Hexham Mart in October, aims to raise money for the essential care services the hospice provides to local patients and families.

It will take place on October 28 and 29.

Now in its 22nd year, the event has previously raised more than £55,000 for local causes.

This year, the fair will continue this tradition into 2024 by supporting the hospice.

The fair offers a unique shopping experience with stalls offering a variety of gift ideas for birthdays and Christmas.

Matthew Crowe, fundraising and events officer at the hospice, said: "It is amazing to have the support of the gift fair this year.

"We really appreciate being chosen by the team and look forward to working with them to support the event in October.

"This will not only raise vital funds but also help us to continue to highlight the care services we offer to local families in need of help."

Representatives from the hospice will be present at the fair, offering handmade gifts and providing information on their care services.
