The Hospice launches festive season with popular Christmas Market

Hospice in the Weald is delighted to confirm that its Christmas Market, which took place on 23rd – 24th November, has raised an incredible £30,000 so far! On what was a blustery weekend, more than 3,000 supporters braved the weather to show their incredible support. 

Held at the Hospice’s Pembury site, the much-loved festive event featured a record 50 stalls and was packed full of seasonal fun; Father Christmas welcomed many visitors to his Grotto, while stallholders were flooded with interest from excited and generous shoppers. 

The more ‘creative’ attendees flocked to the Wreath Making Workshops, and there was an array of winter-inspired food and drink on offer. This was topped off with plenty of music and laughter, from staff, volunteers, stallholders and supporters alike. 

Deborah Orson, one of the record-number of stallholders at the market with Cheese Bomb Gifts, said: “Thank you so much for inviting us back for our 12th year! This was one of the best years we’ve had, which is surprising considering the weather challenges that were bestowed on us!”
