A massive rug sale is under way thanks to a generous gift to East Cheshire Hospice.
East Cheshire Hospice are selling new rugs of all shapes and sizes at its three shops at Thornton Square and in Handforth and Poynton.
Some 1400 rugs which were surplus stock were donated to the Hospice, with all proceeds going directly to fund patient care.

The Hospice has also arranged a special sale at Macclesfield community centre – formerly Macclesfield senior citizens hall – on Duke Street.
The centre will be open for the rug sales from 10 am until 4 pm on three successive Saturdays, starting from January 8.
Commercial manager Louise Delany said: “It’s first come, first served basically at our three shops but because we’ve got so many we haven’t enough room to display as many as we’d like.
“Therefore, we’ve set up an opportunity for potential buyers to view them at our sales days at the community centre.
“There’s already been a big demand, but we’ve got hundreds of high quality rugs for sale, mostly for less than half the retail price.
“There’s a huge assortment of sizes, colours, patterns and prices.
“If people want to grab a great bargain then I suggest they visit our shops quickly, or come along on one of the three Saturdays.”
