A festive fundraising event in Dorchester will bring together Christmas stalls, family activities and local businesses in support of Weldmar Hospicecare.

The Thriftmas Fete will be held at Weldmar’s Dorchester Superstore at Marabout Industrial Estate, Miller’s Close, on Saturday, November 21, from 10am to 4pm.

Visitors will be able to browse jewellery, cakes and children’s stalls, as well as a tombola, raffle, puzzles and games.

Avenue Interiors will also be joining the event with a Christmas stall.

Neighbouring Dorchester Timber is taking part with its own family open day from 8am to 4pm.

Activities will include a bouncy castle, children’s ride-on toys, games, Christmas crafts and food and drink.

Admission is free and organisers are encouraging families to come along and support the day.

All money raised through the Thriftmas Fete will go to Weldmar Hospicecare, which provides specialist care for adults in Dorset living with life-limiting illnesses and support for their loved ones.
