HULL: The popular Dove House Hospice annual Summer Fair is taking place this month.
Held in the grounds of the hospice in Chamberlain Road, east Hull, the fair will be jam-packed with fair games, craft stalls, bouncy castles, a bar, barbecue, cakes and refreshments.
There will also be live entertainment in the It's A Knockout challenge, where teams will battle it out on giant inflatables.
There are still some stalls available to book for the Summer Fair, for a range of purposes, from selling business goods or earning a little extra cash from a hobby.
They are £40, which includes a covered market stall. To book, email fundraising@dovehouse.org.uk or call 01482 785743.
