AN annual Christmas bazaar aims to raise money for wildlife in Dorset.

The event is held every year by the Dorset Wildlife Trust and as well as getting to meet Santa in his grotto, children and families will know that any Christmas gifts they buy will go towards the charity’s work.

Books, jewellery, children’s toys and local arts and crafts will all be on offer at the event at the Fine Foundation Chesil Beach Centre.

It takes place on Sunday, November 29, from 10am to 4pm.

Stallholders will donate a percentage of their profits to DWT and while the adults shop, children can get crafty by making their own Christmas decorations.

DWT Chesil Beach Centre assistant and event organiser, Vicky Ashby said, “The Christmas Bazaar is a great day out for all of the family with a spot of shopping and craft activities; treat yourself to a delicious mince pie and mulled wine from the Taste café, then go for a walk along the beach admiring the wildlife along the way.

“Our gift shop has some great products too, and whether you’re buying Christmas cards or a present for a loved one, you will be supporting Dorset’s wildlife.”

The Chesil Beach Centre is halfway along the causeway between Weymouth and Portland.
