An animal rehoming centre in Bromsgrove is set to host its annual Christmas fair in aid of local pets. 

Christmas is coming early as Blue Cross Rehoming Centre Bromsgrove offers visitors the chance to get their hands on a variety of toys, games, toiletries and other stocking fillers. 

The Christmas fair is set to take place from 10am until 2pm on Saturday, November 23 at Romsley Scout Centre on St Kenelm's Road. 

Entry to the festive fundraiser is free and there will be refreshments on the day along with a selection of Christmas cards to purchase. 

Children will get the chance to meet Santa during the event and receive a gift for a £3 donation. 

On Friday, November 16, SOS Charity Fashion Shows is also hosting a fashion show on behalf of Blue Cross. 

Well-known clothing brands will be on offer at up to 75 per cent off including Wallis, Evans, Topshop, M&S and more. 

The event, which is set to be held at Webheath Village Hall, runs from 6pm with tickets costing £5.
