Outside the grandstand was a food promenade where visitor could enjoy hot drinks or sample gastronomic treats including gourmet cheese toasties, turkey rolls and hog roasts. Meanwhile, younger members of the family were delighted with a visit from Father Christmas himself. There was even a raffle to win a deluxe Tiptree hamper.
Kate Alden, Helen Rollason Cancer Charity Fundraising Manager says: "We've been absolutely blown away by the amount of visitors that we've had at this year's Christmas Gift & Food Fair. We've received some fantastic feedback about the quality and variety of products on sale and everyone's been really impressed with the venue at Chelmsford City Racecourse. The weekend has raised over £22,000 for Helen Rollason Cancer Charity and it's been wonderful to see so many people coming out to show their support."
