PEOPLE looking for gorgeous gifts, delightful treats and beautiful accessories will be able to get their hands on some wonderful wares - and all for a good cause. 

Rockbourne Fair 2022 opened on Wednesday, October 20 and will host more than 100 stalls. 

The fair, which is held annually at Salisbury Racecourse, raises money for the Stars Appeal and runs until Friday, October 20.

Sarah Ewen, Rockbourne Fair committee member, told the Journal what makes this event unique.

Salisbury Journal:

She said: "There's a lot of things here you wouldn't find in the high street and 30 per cent of the stalls this year are new."

She said it is dubbed 'the start of Christmas' for some.

Last year the fair raised £50,000 for the Stars Appeal, the NHS charity for Salisbury District Hospital.

Sarah said: "It means everything to us, that's why we do it. We hope we're making a big difference to the Stars Appeal by raising their profile and giving a great shopping experience at the same time."

A range of local businesses will be hoping to see a brisk trade and they urged people to come and show their support. 

Catherine Roskill has been selling her handmade goods at Rockbourne Fair for over five years.

She said: "It's a well-run fair and they do get people in. There's a wide variety of stalls which is always good."

Rockbourne Fair is open from 10am until 5.30pm on Wednesday, 10am until 8pm on Thursday, and 10am until 3pm on Friday.
