This winter, exclusive artists and crafters will gather at Bembridge Sailing Club for the 2024 Mountbatten Gift Fair, in aid of Mountbatten Isle of Wight.
The show will feature boutique and high-end stalls, run by makers from the mainland and provides a unique Christmas shopping experience for Islanders.
An exclusive preview evening
The festivities will start on 29th November, with an exclusive preview evening, complete with wine and canapes – and tickets are now on sale.
The preview evening will run from 5pm until 8pm at Bembridge Sailing Club on Embankment Road, Bembridge.
Meanwhile, the main shopping event will take place on Saturday, 30th November, from 10am until 3pm. Tickets to Saturday’s fair will be available on the door and will cost £3.
Poncia: We look forward to welcoming some wonderful stalls, old and new
Rosamond Poncia, chair of the Gift Fair committee, said,
“It is incredible to think this will be our eighth Mountbatten Gift Fair.
“We are so grateful to Wightlink for providing assisted travel for our traders and we look forward to welcoming some wonderful stalls, old and new, from the mainland, who will — as always — be selling fantastic unique gifts.
“We will also be running a raffle and a lucky dip, as well as selling cakes, gifts and Christmas wreaths for Mountbatten.
“Please do come along and get involved. Thank you to everyone who has supported us over eight years and helped make this event a success.”
End-of-life and palliative care services
The Mountbatten Gift Fair at Bembridge Sailing Club raises funds for Mountbatten Isle of Wight’s 24/7 end-of-life and palliative care services, which are delivered in Islanders’ homes and in our 16-bed hospice in Newport.
