Thursday November 16,9.30am – 3.00pm

The annual Watlington Hospital Charitable Trust Christmas Fair is moving this year to The Oxfordshire Golf Club, Ryecote Lane, Milton Common from Benson.

The charity Christmas Fair is a highlight of the Christmas shopping season, as well as being a vital source of funding for the Watlington and District Nursing Home.

This year’s WHCT Christmas Fair will offer more stallholders than ever before, selling fabulous gifts including designer clothing; cashmere knitwear; wonderfully luxurious lambskin coats and jackets; unique presents for men; specialist delicatessen products and food hampers; home-made Christmas cakes; stunning glass and chinaware. Children’s gifts will be in abundance from cute pj’s to stocking filler toys and advent calendars.

A number of the stallholders are local, such as K is for Kitchen from Watlington and Ermana Natural Skincare, based in Great Haseley, and the wonderful Petals of Thame for Christmas flowers and greenery. These will be joined by well-established boutique companies - Branche d'Olive, Finch Cashmere are Christmas Fair favourites, plus carefully selected newcomers to bring gift inspiration and an alternative shopping experience from the usual high street shops.

There’s a lot more to do at the Fair than just shop: enter the raffle for the chance to win some great prizes – spa day, dinner for 2 and opera tickets are up for grabs. Enjoy a morning coffee break, lunch or just a cup of tea and cake at the Oxfordshire’s café lounge; and enjoy the wonderful views of the Oxfordshire’s beautiful grounds. The Fair offers a friendly, hassle-free environment for one-stop Christmas shopping – unique gifts and inspiration guaranteed whilst supporting this local charity.
