The Rockbourne Fair
Bored of high-street shopping? The Rockbourne Fair boutique shopping fair returns this Autumn, supporting the Salisbury Hospital Stars Appeal.
Salisbury Racecourse
Weds 19th – Fri 21st October (late night shopping on Thurs 20th)
Featuring over 100 boutique suppliers with products that you simply won’t find on the high street – everything from fashion, cosmetics and jewellery, to luxury homeware, gourmet food and toys.
The fair raises vital funds in support of the Stars Appeal, Salisbury Hospital’s charity. Each year, the Stars Appeal aims to raise at least £1million to enhance care for patients across all Wards and Departments at Salisbury District Hospital and support the NHS staff who care for them. Last year despite a 30% reduction in the number of stalls for Covid-safety, the Fair managed to raise over £50,000.
Lord Pembroke, President of the Stars Appeal said “The Rockbourne Fair is a brilliant opportunity to support the Stars Appeal – Salisbury Hospital’s Charity, whilst getting a head start on your Christmas shopping! We are so grateful to the voluntary organising committee for their hard work and dedication to this wonderful annual fair. The money raised will help us to fund projects that make such a difference for patients and staff at Salisbury District Hospital.”
The Rockbourne Fair is an unrivalled, boutique shopping experience for the Salisbury area, where people meet to socialise and shop, whilst knowing that they are supporting small business owners as well as The Stars Appeal.
