Audrey has enlisted the help of three friends who will set up the stalls for her. Fancy goods, gifts and the abundance of knitted animals Audrey makes herself will be on sale.
All the proceeds will be donated to the several animal charities at home and abroad that Audrey has supported for the last three decades.
Audrey has tried to 'retire' a couple of times but her love of running the event has always pulled her back to it, despite suffering from a range of medical issues.
