BOOKWORMS will be in awe of the 35,000 reads on offer at the NSPCC annual book fair.
Thousands of books, CDs, DVDs, games and jigsaws will be available when the doors open at Holmwood House School in Lexden.
Elisabeth Borg is Chairman of the NSPCC Book Fair Committee and consultant at Boydens estate agency, who sponsors the event.
She said: “We’ve come a long way since our first book fair in 1989 which was a one-day event and raised around £5,000. Last year we took £24,000 during the weekend.
“I’d like to say a big thank you to Boydens, and we are particularly grateful to Holmwood House School for allowing us to use its excellent venue. But it is the public who we really rely on to donate items and then support the fair.”
The fair will run from 9.30am until 4pm at Holmwood House School in Chitts Hill, Lexden on Saturday and Sunday, October 24 and 25.
