A group of fundraisers have shared their delight in surpassing all expectations by raising an impressive £32,000 from their 8th annual fair.

The Angel Committee came together to hold their Angel Fair event at Burghley House, with all funds going towards Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice in Peterborough. The event is a one-day lunch within the Burghley Christmas Fair. Guests enjoyed VIP parking, entry into the Christmas Fair, lunch with wine in the Old Kitchen and tea after extensive shopping.

Abigail Benson, from the Angel Fair Committee, said: “We are overwhelmed by the generosity and support shown by our community. This record-breaking achievement of ours wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of our sponsors. Their generosity will make a significant difference in the lives of those who rely on the invaluable services of Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice.”
