Family-friendly charity fair to take place at Sandy Balls

Taking place at Sandy Balls Holiday Village in Godshill village near Fordingbridge on Sunday, August 9, the fair will run from 10am to 2pm community.

Organised by Ann Blake, the event will raise funds for Dog Aid UK and Salisbury Hospice through a day of family-friendly activities.

Ms Blake said: "Whether you're looking for unique handmade gifts, want to support local crafters, or simply enjoy a great day out, there will be something for everyone.

"It's an event not to be missed."

Visitors can browse a variety of craft stalls, enjoy refreshments, and take part in activities for all ages.

One of the day's highlights will be a surprise flash mob performance from the Rock Choir, who will also perform a set of uplifting songs during the event.

Ms Blake, who has dedicated her time to supporting local causes, said she hopes the event will bring people together while raising much-needed funds for the two organisations.

The event is open to everyone and aims to support both the charities and the community.
