Festive fun helps raise money for Rugby Foodbank this Christmas

Father Christmas was among guests at a festive event to raise money for Rugby Foodbank.

The fair, which took place at McCarthy Stone’s Knox Court Retirement Living Plus development in Bilton Road, raised £461.54.

As well as stalls, raffle and games, visitors enjoyed traditional carols and other festive hits sung by the Rugby Male Voice Choir.

Laura Pittaway, Divisional Marketing Manager at McCarthy Stone, said: “Our homeowners and guests thoroughly enjoyed the Charity Christmas Fayre at Knox Court, and we’re so thrilled that all proceeds raised, a total of £461.54 has been donated to a vital local community resource, such as the Rugby Foodbank.

“The event has been a great way to bring the community closer together and celebrate what Christmas is all about while browsing stalls, enjoying delicious food, and warming hot chocolate and a mince pie or two.”
