SIXTEEN charities took part in Saturday’s Grand Charity Christmas Fayre at the Clarke Foley Centre in Ilkley.

The event was opened by Ilkley Town Crier Isabel Hogan and Councillor Brian Mann, Chairman of Ilkley Parish Council. The event was well attended and all the money raised went to the charities involved.

The event was organised by Ilkley Friends of Martin House, a local group which raises funds for the Children’s Hospice.
