The annual Castle Howard NSPCC Christmas Fair offers a fantastic Christmas shopping experience in beautiful surroundings. It takes place on Friday 7 November inside this stunning house.

There will be over 50 stalls selling a wide range of gifts for adults and children including: toys, children's books, jewellery, traditional Yorkshire food stalls, clothes, flowers and home accessories. The event attracts over 1,200 visitors and hopes to raise £35,000 for the NSPCC, who run vital services for children, young people and families across North Yorkshire and the UK.

The entrance fee is £6 per person (children under 13 go free) and includes admission to both the house and grounds at Castle Howard. The fair is open from 9.30am-3.30pm on Friday 7 November 2008.
