More than 400 visitors turned out for the GRWE Greyhound Rescue Christmas Fair in Nantwich Civic Hall.

The event helped to raise £2,500 for the dogs who need help and new homes.

GRWE volunteer event coordinator Emma Bewley said: ““The fair was a great success.

“It was lovely to see so many happily-homed greyhounds, lurchers and whippets visiting with their families, including Spencer, a lovely lurcher lad who met his forever family at last year’’s Christmas Fair!”

Money raised will go towards costs of kennel spaces and vets bills.

A band played Christmas tunes while visitors browsed stalls selling hand-knitted dog coats, hand-made jewellery, chainsaw carvings, aromatherapy oils, paintings and other crafts.

There were restorative massages available for humans and hounds, and a teddy bear tombola saw more than 200 donated cuddly toys given as prizes.

Nine-year-old Scarlett Berry, who has raised over £2,000 for North West animal rescues in the last 12 months, was presented with a certificate of GRWE’’s appreciation for her efforts.
