FATHER Christmas, choirs and handbells will feature at the Romsey Abbey Christmas Fair this weekend.
The event, on Saturday, November 25, is one of the abbey's biggest fundraisers.
Starting at 10am, it will be opened by the vicar Rev Thomas Wharton and the mayors of Romsey and Test Valley John Ray and Philip Lashbrook, ably supported by the town crier.
Last year, the fair raised an impressive £6,500.

Father Christmas will be in the Abbey’s Nicholas Chapel whilst St Lawrence Chapel will be the book shop with an impressive range for sale.
Refreshments will be served in the Church Rooms and there is a large range of stalls, homemade cakes, toiletries, toys, two tombolas, Christmas decorations, jewellery and more.
Romsey Abbey Primary School choir and Romsey Voices will be singing – both under the direction of Marion Maxey. The Abbey Handbells will be entertaining too.
There will be something for all the family.
