A hospice which supports patients and their families across north Herts from its Letchworth base is hoping to drum up funds for the much-needed care service it provides with Saturday’s Arts, Craft and Design Fair.

The team at Garden House Hospice are holding the event at the Letchworth Settlement between 10am and 4pm, with the emphasis on inspiring visitors with a selection of stalls.

Stalls on offer will include paintings and ceramics, wood craft, jewellery and luxury gifts, while there will also be a stand dedicated to people looking for early festive inspiration.

There will be toys and activities to keep the kids happy, a massage and therapies area to help parents relax and plenty of cakes and refreshments to whet the appetite.

Admission is £2 but children get in for free.

The hospice is a registered charity offering hospice care and support to patients from the North Hertfordshire community with a terminal diagnosis.

Services are offered free of charge to patients and families needing the support of the hospice.
