Demelza "Fishing Fortnight" Charity Event


Donate Unwanted Tackle or Grab a Bargain!

Demelza Canterbury is having a Fishing Fortnight from Saturday 1st June  to Saturday 15th June  

Demelza is a registered charity that has children's hospices at Sittingbourne and Eltham.  These provide specialist care and emotional support for both children with terminal conditions and their loved ones so that they can enjoy time together as a family, for as long as they have.  Just imagine if such a tragedy happened to your family!

Donations can be dropped off at : Demelza Canterbury shop at 18 Burgate, CT1 2HG (tel 01227-471896) from Monday 13th May.

There's free parking outside before 10.30 and after 4.00.  The shop itself is open 9.30 to 5.00 (11.00 to 4.30 Sundays). Please don't leave outside the shop as things may be stolen!

We're looking for anything angling related (coarse, carp, sea or game).  The only exception are bivvies/shelters as, even though we have a big shop, we don't have room to display them.  We just ask that every item is in good working order, and that clothes are washed and are something that you'd still be happy to wear yourself.

Even if you have nothing to donate why not visit with your family during Fishing Fortnight?  Not only could you pick up a tackle bargain, but there are bargains throughout the shop.

What's more, if you need something for a wedding or some other special occasion Demelza Canterbury has a little-known downstairs floor devoted to just this.

We look forward to seeing you before and during Fishing Fortnight.
