The fair, organised in conjunction with the Northbrook Friends of St Barnabas House, featured 70 stalls, a cafe, live entertainment including West Sussex Rock Choir, Sussex Ghostbusters, Patcham Silver Band and Magic Martin, and a visit from Santa and his elves.

It was opened by Worthing mayor Hazel Thorpe and town crier Bob Smytherman.

This takes the total raised for the hospice through the fairs to £22,425.50.

The next The Fairy Tale Fair event at The Charmandean is the Easter fair on Sunday, April 5, again raising money for St Barnabas House.
