MULLED wine and spices filled the air as guests browsed stalls for that perfect Christmas gift at Basingstoke Rugby Club's Christmas Market.
The event, which raised money for both Basingstoke Rugby Club and The Rainbow Unit at Basingstoke Hospital, was held in the RFC clubhouse on Friday, December 13.
The event was scheduled to kick off at 6.30pm and finish at 9pm but doors opened slightly earlier as long queues were eager to get inside.
Christmas music provided a wonderful soundtrack as guests browsed stalls filled with candles, sweets, chocolate, mulled wine, food, dog treats, and more were on offer, with one lucky winner taking home £250 from the raffle.
