Finding a bargain is always satisfying - especially when it also involves directly helping a hospice that supports seriously ill people.

The Vintage and Upcycling Fair held at Holyport War Memorial Hall at Moneyrow Green on Saturday offered visitors the chance to do both.

It was a joint operation between the team that run Thames Hospice's three charity shops in Windsor and regulars from St Michael's Church in Bray.

The hospice has been offering support to people with life limiting illnesses at its premises in Hatch Lane, Windsor and in their own homes for three decades.

Demand has grown so much that now a new home for the hospice is being built at Bray Lake. But it needs public support and fund raising activities are a vital part of this.

Saturday's fair boasted a wide range of vintage and retro clothes with furniture and bric-a-brac, much of it from the hospice's own shops.

Other stallholders added to the variety of goods on sale, all donating a share of their profits to the hospice fund.

There was also a demonstration of how to repaint and enliven vintage furniture.

A team from St Michael's Church laid on teas and refreshments.

About £400 was raised towards the new hospice building.

Pam Woodruff, who is treasurer for St Michael's Church said: "There was a lovely atmosphere. Everybody really enjoyed the themselves and it's something we would like to do again."
