A hugely popular gift fair in aid of Mountbatten promises to be your one-stop-shop for quality gifts this Christmas.
The prestigious Mountbatten Gift Fair returns on 27th November, bringing a mix of local and mainland traders to Bembridge Sailing Club.
Around 40 boutique and high-end stalls with an array of unique gifts are on offer to those attending the annual event, which, to date, has raised over £50,000 to support Mountbatten’s work.
Poncia: Fabulous opportunity to stock up on gifts
Rosamond Poncia, Mountbatten Trustee and Chair of the Gift Fair Committee, said,
“We are delighted to bring the Mountbatten Gift Fair back to Bembridge Sailing Club. The committee, who all volunteer their time, have worked hard to make this the biggest and best fair yet with lots of new stalls and wonderful raffle prizes to be won.
“Not only is this a fabulous opportunity to stock up on some exceptional Christmas gifts, but by supporting this event, you will be helping families on the Isle of Wight when they need it the most.”
For the last six years, the committee has hosted a gift fair and even held a virtual version during lockdown in 2020, which raised £11,000 for the hospice.
