THE Exbourne big breakfast and Christmas market on December 10 was a massive success, raising £1,152.

The food for the breakfasts was sourced locally, and a steady stream of shoppers visited the village hall throughout the morning. Stallholders offered local produce and crafts, including sustainable Christmas trees and mistletoe.

Part of the proceeds will go toward equipping the Burrow, the new underground shop in Exbourne. Organisers expressed thanks to all the volunteers. For more information on the progress of the Burrow, visit http://www.theundergroundshop.co.uk">www.theundergroundshop.co.uk
