“It is incredible to think this will be our eighth Mountbatten Gift Fair,” said Rosamond Poncia, chair of the Gift Fair committee.

“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.”

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.
