Rockbourne Early Christmas Fair returns to Salisbury Racecourse bringing three days of boutique shopping - all in support of the Stars Appeal, Salisbury Hospital’s Charity.
The Fair, which attracts thousands of visitors every year, takes place from Wednesday 14th to Friday 16th October. The Fair will stay open until 7.30 pm on the Thursday evening, offering visitors the chance to enjoy late-night shopping.
With over 90 handpicked stalls packed with fashion, jewellery, homeware, cosmetics, gourmet food, and unique gifts, there is plenty on offer for visitors searching for their perfect Christmas gift – many of which are not available on the high street. This year, the Fair has over 30 new stalls.
The money raised will help the Stars Appeal towards its £2 million target this year to fund projects across Salisbury Hospital. These include new equipment such as a mammogram machine for the Breast Unit, enhancements to buildings, and ongoing projects across the hospital, including support for people with cancer, a dedicated play assistant on the Children’s Unit, and Stars Appeal Wi-Fi.
Last year, Rockbourne Fair raised a record-breaking total of £68,191, surpassing the £62,081 raised in 2024.
Also returning to the event is the popular Rockbourne Fair Lunch Menu, available in the on-site restaurant, offering seasonal dishes, coffee and cake deals, and even a glass of fizz for those in the festive spirit. Wood-fired sourdough pizzas will also be available to enjoy al fresco during the Fair.
The Fair opens from 10 am and free parking is available. For more information, visit www.rockbournefair.org.uk
