TWO reindeer called Jingle and Bells brought some festive charm to a Christmas fair at Richmond Painswick retirement village.
Visitors of all ages enjoyed seeing the pair in a special shelter.
There were also stalls from arts and crafts suppliers, refreshments and a tombola, all of which helped to raise more than £400 for Cheltenham-based childrenÕs bereavement charity Winston's Wish.
Village manager Susie Oakley said:"The event was extremely successful, not only because it raised money for such a worthwhile cause but also because of the excitement it generated with the presence of Jingle and Bells."
