 COUNTDOWN
TO THE CRUELTY-FREE FAYRE
Christmas Without Cruelty Fayre, Kensington Town Hall,
W8
Sunday 23 November 2003, 10am - 5pm
'Tis the season to be jolly and spread peace to all creatures on earth! What
better way of doing it than by making sure your money goes to companies
which don't hurt animals or the environment? Consumers are becoming
increasingly concerned about the ethical impacts of shopping and
the Christmas Without Cruelty Fayre
is the perfect opportunity to spend, spend, spend with a completely
clear conscience.
The annual event, to be held at Kensington Town Hall on November 23rd, brings
animal charities, 'green' companies and ethical traders all under one roof.
A huge range of products will be on offer including cruelty-free cosmetics,
funky veggie footwear and delicious chocolates, sweets and treats. Support causes
close to your heart by snapping up seasonal essentials such as christmas cards,
calendars and wrapping paper from animal charities and campaign groups.
A highlight of the day will be the annual auction, with a large selection of
unique celebrity items going under the hammer. Add some glitz to your Christmas
wardrobe with Graham Norton's sequined shirt, or predict what the future holds
with a signed Mystic Meg tarot card set. Footie fans can really score with an
Arsenal pennant signed by all the players, or a family ticket to tour the Man
United stadium and museum. With theatre tickets, autographed books from Jilly
Cooper and Alexei Sayle, signed items from Massive Attack, Craig David, Status
Quo and other stars of sports, stage and screen up for grabs, there'll be no
excuse for giving socks this year!
And if all that shopping works up an appetite, delicious veggie catering will
be on hand to keep the hunger at bay.
Says event organiser, Mary Shephard:
"Come to the fayre and have a cruelty-free Christmas! Being an ethical
consumer doesn't mean you have to miss out. With 72 stands to visit you can
shop 'til you drop safe in the knowledge all your money is going to save animals
and support good causes."
