HISTORIC Ramster in Chiddingfold will host the Ramster Gift Fair this autumn to raise money for Action Medical Research.

The wedding venue will be transformed into a shoppers’ paradise with more than 50 stalls in aid of the West Sussex-based kids’ charity, on October 4-5.

The fair is the perfect opportunity to pick up some unique early Christmas presents, with stalls selling food, gifts, jewellery and practical paraphernalia, while the cafe provides a great spot to grab a sandwich or slice of cake before heading back for more shopping.

The fair has been raising money for Action Medical Research for more than 11 years and has raised more than £80,000 to date.

It will be open from 10am until 4pm, on Tuesday, October 4 and Wednesday, October 5. Entry is £5 and there is ample free parking.

For more than 60 years Action Medical Research has helped pioneer treatments and ways to prevent disease that have benefited millions of people in the UK and across the world. Research the charity has funded has helped to beat polio in the UK, develop ultrasound in pregnancy, fight meningitis and prevent stillbirths.

It is currently funding research into meningitis, Down’s syndrome, epilepsy and premature birth, as well as some rare and distressing conditions that severely affect children.
