Hospice calls for stallholders for fundraiser at Hove Park

Martlets Hospice will hold its Hove Park Carnival on May 27 – spring bank holiday Monday.

It says more than 3,000 visitors attended the event last year and that pitches for stallholders sell out fast.

Charlotte Bolton of the hospice's fundraising team said: "Our Hove Park Carnival is a fantastic, fun event for young and old with amusements, displays, rides and arena entertainments that draw in the crowds.

"It's always a hugely busy day for stallholders and we are encouraging people that might be interested to book their pitch to make sure they don't miss out."

Money raised from the hire of the pitches will go towards the hospice's work supporting those in and around Brighton and Hove that are living through a terminal illness.

A stall for a business costs £40; for a charity it costs £25.

The hospice says it is particularly interested in hearing from businesses and those offering arts and crafts, health or well-being, beauty or food products – although it is unable to accept stalls serving food.
