THE Hendon Hall Hotel, in Ashley Lane, is offering the chance for a spot of festive shopping in aid of a Finchley-based charity on Wednesday.

Shopping Encounter, from 9am to 9pm, will raise money for the charity Grief Encounter, which supports bereaved children and their families following the death of a parent or sibling.

Everything from toys, homeware, clothes, accessories and beauty products can be bought at discount prices.

Tickets cost £5, which includes entry into a prize draw, and refreshments and car parking are available.
