The silent auction is raising funds for the chosen charities of the Mayor of Winchester, Cllr Angela Clear.

Another item up for grabs is a 53-inch squire heirloom quilt made by a longtime quilter Sue Butcher.

The quilt took Sue six months to make. There is a reserve of £200 minimum on the quilt due to the cost of the materials, as well as how long it took to make.
