“We are looking for companies to apply for stalls before the end of March offering gifts, food, drink, home interior, jewellery, stationery, imagery, fashion and accessories,” says Sally Pavey volunteer fair organiser. “To ensure a kaleidoscope of products are on offer to shoppers, a selection process will take place the first week of April.”

The dates of the fair are Saturday, 16 and Sunday, 17 September with all money raised being donated to Cancer Research UK Brighton Laboratories.

“We are delighted to be supported by etc Magazine, Sussex newspapers and Brock Taylor estate agents this year as together we can beat cancer through shopping as every stallholder donates ten per cent of takings to the cause,” says Sally.

2016’s fair was the first one and boasted stalls selling a range of items from clothing and food to cosmetics, homeware and gifts.

Aside from shopping there was a great deal of other activities on offer, and for reluctant partners, the ‘Man’s Creche’ in the garden lounge provided a more relaxed environment. Here, they can watch sport, catch up on the Sunday papers, grab a coffee, cake or beer, and even have a haircut.

There were also an exciting range of guests including award-winning local author Bethan Roberts, gardening expert Pippa Greenwood. Known for her appearances on Radio 4 and folk singer Jimmy Lee.
