Countdown to Rockbourne Fair

The countdown is on to Rockbourne Fair 2024 – the popular early Christmas shopping event starts next week!

From Wednesday, October 16th to Friday, October 18th, the Fair promises to be the ultimate early Christmas shopping experience, bringing together over 100 luxury stalls filled with unique treasures, all while raising money for the Stars Appeal, Salisbury District Hospital’s Charity.

With two floors of handpicked stalls, the Fair will offer a delightful array of luxury homeware, cosmetics, jewellery, gourmet food, fashion, and gifts. From must-have Christmas presents to indulgent treats for yourself, this is a one-stop-shop for all your seasonal needs - and it’s the perfect opportunity to get ahead of your Christmas shopping.

In addition to its exciting range of products and stalls, the Rockbourne Fair creates a vibrant, buzzing atmosphere where visitors can enjoy more than just shopping. It’s a time to socialise, meet with friends, and indulge in the brand-new Rockbourne Fair Lunch Menu available in the on-site restaurant - the perfect way to refuel in between your shopping sprees.

And don’t forget to take advantage of late-night shopping on Thursday, October 17th, when the Fair will stay open until 7.30pm, giving you plenty of time to explore at your leisure after work.

Bev Moulding, Chair of the Rockbourne Fair Committee, says: “We’re so excited to welcome everyone back to the Rockbourne Fair next week. As well as many of our favourite stallholders returning, we have over 30% new stalls for our visitors to enjoy. But it’s more than just shopping - it’s a fantastic opportunity to socialise, find that perfect gift, and support small businesses, all while raising vital funds for the Stars Appeal. We hope to see lots of familiar faces and new visitors alike!”

This is what makes Rockbourne Fair so special - it is an event where every purchase makes a difference. All profits go directly to the Stars Appeal, which aims to raise £1 million every year to support projects that enhance patient care at Salisbury Hospital. From funding medical equipment and enhancements to buildings, to providing projects that support patients and staff, the money raised will make a tangible difference to the local community.
