MANORLANDS will share in the proceeds of this year's Clayton Dickensian Market.

The event takes place in the centre of the village on December 6, from 11am to 4pm.

Attractions will include stalls, musicians, puppets, bands, displays and fairground rides.

Last year's market raised £8,000 in total, which was distributed to three causes.

Manorlands fundraiser, Carly Brunskill, said: "We are delighted to be one of the market's chosen charities this year.

"It is thanks to local community groups that Manorlands hospice can carry on providing its expert services."

Market organisers are appealing for help on the day. E-mail stevebooth@talktalk.net or call 01274 815812.
