Croydon Citadel band will provide the soundtrack to a festive Christmas fayre this weekend.

The two day fayre, at Shirley Garden Centre on Wickham Road, will take place on Saturday and Sunday, November 17 and 18.

The brass band will entertain crowds with Christmas classics from 12-1pm on Sunday.

A variety of Christmas gifts, lights, decorations and artificial trees, will be available to buy, while donations will be collected for the Salvation Army when the band perform.

Members of the centre’s Gardening Club will be treated to double points throughout the store and a non-alcoholic berry beverage on entry.

This will also be available for those who sign up for the Gardening Club across the weekend, and customers can begin collecting store points immediately.

The event is free to attend and will take place during normal opening hours at the garden centre, from 9-6pm on Saturday and 10:30-4:30pm Sunday.
