Excitement is building for a sale of quality clothing takes place at Rutland Hall Hotel later this month.

The Good and New Clothes Sale allows people to pick up designer and quality brands for reduced prices while updating their wardrobes for the seasons ahead.

Organised by volunteers from the fundraising group ‘For Rutland’, proceeds help pay for the work of two non-medical advisors at Citizens Advice Rutland.

They help people living with long-term health conditions such as dementia and cancer to access benefits and support.

The event has been generating money for good causes for more than 50 years and last year raised £47,000.

Being staged for the first time at Rutland Hall Hotel’s Pavilion, a banner promoting the sale was unveiled by the hotel’s director and general manager, Sunil Kanjanghat.

This year’s sale starts on Friday, March 28 from 5pm to 8pm at Rutland Hall Hotel. Tickets cost £25 and include champagne and canapes from Hambleton Hall. Email info@forrutland.org.uk to book.

The sale continues on Saturday, March 29 from 8.30am until 1pm when most items will be reduced to half price. Admission is £5 on the door.

Jeannette Warner, who chairs the For Rutland fundraising group, said: “We hope that this year is the first of many successful events at Rutland Hall Hotel. Anyone who hasn’t already bought a ticket for the first night sale on the Friday still has time.

“People can also pay £5 on the door on Saturday morning for the Big Sale and grab a bargain as most items will then be half price.”
