A Preston events company is raising money for charities Miles for Mitchie and North West Air Ambulance.

After last year’s fundraising success, Fairydust Events was made an official honorary patron for Age Concern Central Lancashire.

The company managed to raise £3,284.70 in 2021 and now owner Sarah Williams plans to raise yet more money, starting off with two free upcoming events that are open to the local community.

On Saturday 29 January the Gift and Craft Fayre will be making a return from 2pm to 5pm at Millennium Hall Community Centre in Fulwood, due to a busy and successful Christmas event.

There will be 20 stalls for visitors to shop from with a large array of handcrafted gifts, plus a charity Tombola and free face painting for the little ones. 

As the day goes on, a VIP guest will be making a special appearance at the venue, and visitors will have the option to choose from a selection of food and drinks outside the hall.

Once again there will be range of independent traders with a variety of gifts, goods and free face painting from 12pm to 3pm, and hot food will served from Fairydust’s catering unit.
