David Connell, general manager for Exclusive Hotels and Venues at South Lodge Hotel, said: “St Catherine’s is close to our heart and have been one of our charity partners for the past two years so we are always looking for ways to help and support them in as many ways as we can and the fair is a perfect fit for us.”

All money raised goes to St Catherine’s’ Hospice New Horizons Appeal, which continues to fund a community nurse each year through local people attending such events.
