Royal Windsor Racecourse hosts Christmas gift fair

Thousands of Christmas shoppers made an early start at the Windsor Christmas Gift Fair.

The event, which is now in its second year, ran from Thursday until yesterday (Sunday).

Highlights of the four-day spending spree at Royal Windsor Racecourse included an appearance by Great British Bake Off favourite Martha Collison and 160 stalls selling everything from artisan alcohol to jewellery, as well as festive staples such as socks and Christmas decorations.

The event's director, Debra James, said: "The feedback from visitors has been very positive, both about the quality and the variety of the stalls we've had on offer.

"I think it's the variety of the gifts which you can't find on the High Street which has helped make it such a success.

"We've even got a stall selling a beer for dogs - there's just all sorts of things for everybody."
