A Winchester pre-school will hold its annual Christmas market later this month.

St Paul's Pre-school, in St Paul's Hill, which celebrated its 40th anniversary this summer, will host the event on Thursday, November 28, from 7.30pm to 9.30pm.

The market at St Paul’s Church, is sponsored by Pearsons Estate Agents, is a key fundraiser for the parent-run community setting.

Last year's market raised more than £2,600, which was used to buy equipment for the pre-school, including a new trike shed.

Silvia Brown, pre-school teaching lead, said: "The team at St Paul's Pre-school is committed to promoting learning through play, developing interests through curiosity, and offering children a wide range of experiences that enhance learning.

"We rely on our community for support to keep us going through the many challenges we face, and we would like to encourage you, your friends, family and neighbours to come along and to come to our Christmas Market fun, and help us make it our best fundraiser event of the year."

Sam McCathie, branch manager at Pearsons Estate Agents, Winchester, said: "We’re delighted to be sponsoring the St Paul’s Pre-school Christmas Market for the fourth year running.

"St Paul’s Pre-school has been nurturing children in this community for 40 years, and we’re proud to be able to support their wonderful work."
