HAMPSHIRE charities will be benefiting from the CLA Game Fair being staged this weekend with a little help from celebrities of stage and screen.

Famous faces, including Elaine Paige, Bernard Cribbins, Gareth Hunt, Ed Stewart and Daily Echo columnist and TV personality Sally Taylor will be enjoying the delights of the event, which celebrates the best of the countryside.

As well as mingling with the crowds, the celebrities will be going head-to-head in a charity clay pigeon shoot during the course of the Country Land and Business Association event.

Money raised from the fair will go towards the Pelican Cancer Found-ation and the Leonora Children's Cancer Fund, which was founded by Lord and Lady Romsey after their daughter lost her battle with cancer.

The Leonora Children's Cancer Fund provides specially trained nurses to help look after children with cancer.

The CLA Game Fair runs from Friday to Sunday at Broadlands in Romsey.
