Giant Bring and Buy Sale

In the Chapter House from 10.30am to 1.30pm

Forget the January sales and come to the Friends’ Bring and Buy Sale instead to pick up a bargain. It is also a good opportunity to de-clutter by donating excess items and unwanted presents to the cause or joining us as a stall holder. There will be lots of different stalls, tombolas and refreshments.

Donated items will be received in the Chapter House on Friday 3rd February from 2.30pm to 5.30pm or on the day from 9.30am. We would be very keen to have good quality clothing and accessories, books, unwanted gifts, bric a brac or antiques. Unfortunately this year we are unable to receive general goods at our premises at 27 & 28 Burgate due to lack of space except for antiques which we would be very pleased to receive in advance so that we can get them valued.

Contact Pam Doyle on 01227 865292 for more information If you would like to help with this event or be a stallholder. Put the date in your diary and bring your friends and family, buy something and enjoy the fun! Friends and Precincts Pass Holders will have free entry.
