The event could not be held last year because of Covid-19 restrictions – along with a string of other fundraising events.
Hospice fundraiser Nicola Winwood said: “We are so pleased to be able to hold our Festive Fayre again this year after having to cancel so many events during the pandemic.
"Now we’ve moved the Fayre to the Staincliffe we are are able to offer lots more shopping options and it’s also more accessible.”

Alice House Hospice, in Wells Avenue, is a registered charity offering specialist palliative care, counselling and support to hundreds of adults from Hartlepool and East Durham each year.
The services it provides will cost £3.5m this year although the hospice only receives 20% of this in Government funding.
The outstanding £2.8m has to be raised through the local community and other fundraising initiatives.
