A special Christmas event raising money for charities will be held at a Kings Langley church next month.

On Saturday, November 1, the King's Bookshop & Coffee Shop at Christ Church Baptist will be offering a range of Christmas cards supporting local charities such as Ian Rennie, Watford Peace Hospice, Tearfund and Leprosy Mission.

There will also be opportunities to buy fairly traded crafts and gifts as well as diaries, calendars, wrapping paper and all the normal Chrismassy bits.

Throughout the morning complimentary seasonal refreshments will be available.

Anne Armstrong of King's Bookshop & Coffee Shop said: " We would like to encourage as many as possible to come along and support these very worthwhile charities."

The event will take place from 10am to 1pm.
