Mercedes-Benz of Nottingham's annual Christmas Fayre has delivered glad tidings for a good cause in the city.

A raffle at the seasonal extravaganza raised £350 for the Queen's Medical Centre Premature Baby Unit.

Prizes were donated by each of the 25 local companies, which attended the event and set up stalls in the showroom of the NG2 Business Park retailer - selling Christmas gifts ranging from confectionery to crafts to more than 200 customers who went along.

Adding to the festive atmosphere was local band Supermojo, who performed a selection of yuletide favourites. There was plenty to keep younger visitors entertained too, thanks to Nottinghamshire Fire Service which displayed one of their engines and, of course, Father Christmas who handed out chocolates.

"This was the third year that we have held a Christmas Fayre and this was the biggest and best yet," said Carole Merry, Mercedes-Benz of Nottingham's General Manager.

"The event has proved to be a fantastic way of getting people into the festive spirit but also raising money for a local charity," she added. "My colleagues and I would like to thank everyone who came along, including such a diversity of Nottingham business, and made it such a successful evening."
