The Early Early Christmas Fair
We’re back for 2021!
Tedworth Polo Park, Wiltshire
Tues 28 Sep 2021 | 2pm - 9.30pm Wed 29 Sep 2021 | 9:30am - 4pm
The last 18 months have been hugely challenging for event organisers, and the charities that they support.
Taking the Early, Early Christmas Fair (EECF) online was a big undertaking, but you all supported us and
we are so grateful to everyone who helped raise much needed funds for ABF - The Soldiers’ Charity, in the
most difficult year yet.
The 2021 EECF, complete with marquees, stalls and stallholders, delicious food and drink will take place at
Tedworth Park, Tidworth as always over a two-day period with a fabulous evening reception on the Tuesday
night.
There will be the usual fabulously eclectic display of produce and products: from beauty and fashion, food
and drink, gifts and gadgets, jewellery and flowers, things for the home and the garden, and much, much
more… Something for everyone and a place to meet, at last. Any government guidelines will be strictly
adhered to, with whatever restrictions are in place at that time.
Once again, we will be joined by Marc Allum, well known to many from the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow, who
will be delighted to value your heirlooms and curios both at the Live Event, and later online during the
Virtual Event.
In addition, there will be a lovely new pop up wellness area, with the opportunity to book in for a few fun
things, and various authors will be book signing throughout the event.
The EEC Virtual Fair will go online immediately after the live Fair. The main virtual event will be from 30th
September until 14th October; this will include exclusive shopping where you can find virtual events: gin
tasting, curry suppers, private online antique valuations, celebrity appearances, and all the shopping you
need for Christmas. All the shops will then stay open until 1st January 2022. It will include some of the
exhibitors from the Live Event, but many will be new – so there will be a huge variety on offer and plenty of
opportunities to engage with us both live and online.
As always, we are so grateful to all those that make it happen, especially our sponsors General Dynamics,
Aspire Defence Ltd and Aspire Defence Services Ltd.
Thank you again for your support and we look forward to seeing you all and you can book all tickets online
now.

Mark’s Story
https://soldierscharity.org/stories/mark-harding/
Mark was shot in the neck while serving in Afghanistan, leaving him with devastating injuries.
We have helped him at several points over the years, and he is now a passionate supporter of
our charity.
Mark served with the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment for 16 years, mostly as a sniper with the
Reconnaissance platoon. His service included operational tours in Bosnia, Kosovo, Northern Ireland, Iraq
and Afghanistan.
In 2010, while leading a routine patrol in Afghanistan, Mark was shot by a Taliban sniper. The bullet passed
through his neck, leaving him paralysed from the neck down. Mark was evacuated back to the UK, where
the devastating extent of his injuries became clear. Despite the predictions of his doctors, Mark was
determined to overcome his injuries and learn to walk again.
Mark spent two and a half years undergoing physiotherapy at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre at
Headley Court. His rehabilitation and recovery has been long, painful and challenging – but through dint of
sheer determination, he has achieved his goal of walking again.
Our charity has supported Mark at several points over the years, most recently by providing grants for
training equipment so he could develop his interest in kayaking. Mark showed a great natural aptitude for
kayaking, and went on to be selected for the GB Sprint Kayaking squad. Mark has become a passionate
supporter of our charity, raising funds for the Army family through challenges and events.
3,000 Mile Virtual Atlantic Ocean Row
When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, Mark felt a compelling urge to ‘do
his bit’ for the NHS staff who had cared for him after his injury. He says:
“Without their care and support, I wouldn’t be in the privileged position I
am today, being able to put one foot in front of the other.”
Mark challenged himself to row over 3,000 miles on the kayak machine
in his back garden – the distance of the Atlantic Ocean from Cumbria to
Cape Cod. Managing between 40 and 60 miles each day, he completed
his goal in three months, raising over £3,000 for the NHS and our
charity.
Mark says: “I want to continue to push myself and make a difference.
I want to show people with injuries from Afghanistan, Iraq or any war
zone that you can still do things and do them well because we are
soldiers. As the British Army motto states, we can still be the best.”Exclusive 20% discount
