A popular annual Christmas Gift Fair returns, on 21 and 22 November, in an exciting new location — the Minster Church of Sts Thomas — and it will be raising vital funds for charity.

On Friday 21 November, start your countdown to the festive season at the exclusive Jingle and Mingle evening, from 6-8.30pm. All proceeds will go to Mountbatten Isle of Wight. Guests will be treated to music from barbershop choir Wight Harmony, as well as enjoying drinks and canapes.

This ticket-only evening is a chance to have first look at a host of unique Christmas gift ideas. There will also be a lucky dip and a raffle, and the beautiful surroundings of the recently renovated Newport Minister will be specially dressed for the occasion.

Jingle Mingle costs £25 per person and tickets are limited.

Then, on Saturday, 22 November, from 10am until 3pm, visit the **FREE** Christmas Gift Fair in the Minster Church in St Thomas’ Square, Newport.

Bayliss & Booth, West Wight Alpacas, Lucy Whelan Vintage, Tipsy Wight, Naturally Essential and All Well And Good will be among those at the event. 

With Father Christmas himself making a special appearance, drop in and take part in the raffle and lucky dip, and walk away with unique presents for your family and friends.

Donations on the day are welcome, and these will be split between Mountbatten Isle of Wight and the Minster Church of Sts Thomas.

The organisers would like to thank Tolchards, Red Squirrel, Rouse Independent Financial Planning, Weaver Brothers and Solent Beds and Furniture for their support.

At its brand new location, which includes plenty of town-centre parking and an easily accessible venue, the ninth annual Christmas Gift Fair, including the exclusive Jingle Mingle, promises all the Christmas feels!
