Date set for 2023 Rockbourne Fair for Stars Appeal
We can 'shop the rock' once again in just a few weeks time!
One of the Stars Appeal's biggest fundraisers of the year will return next month - allowing us to shop while supporting Salisbury District Hospital's charity.
The Rockbourne Fair will be back at Salisbury Racecourse from Wednesday 18th to Friday 20th October.
Over 100 stalls will be set up for the duration, from fashion, cosmetics, jewellery, gourmet food, luxury homeware to toys - with organisers 'carefully curating items not typically found on the high street'.
The event raised £51,000 for the Stars Appeal last year.
That goes towards the £1 million they need to bring in every year, to help provide services and equipment for our local hospital, over and above what the NHS can provide.
Lord Pembroke, President of the Stars Appeal, said:
“The Rockbourne Fair is a win-win for everyone involved. Shoppers get a jumpstart on their Christmas lists, and we get invaluable support for our charity. We owe much to the voluntary organising committee whose tireless efforts make this event a yearly success. The funds we raise help spearhead projects that create tangible, positive change for both patients and staff at Salisbury District Hospital.”
Bev Moulding, Committee Chair, says the Fair is a celebration of community:
“Rockbourne Fair has always been more than a shopping event - it’s a fun, social experience, supporting small businesses, and of course, supporting our Salisbury Hospital. We welcome everyone to come with their friends, enjoy lunch in the restaurant, and ‘Shop the Rock’!”
