STOWE Autumn Gift Fair was held at Stowe School on September 19 to raise money for Ataxia UK.
The event featured stalls from 60 exhibitors, selling items including jewellery, make-up and skin care, food, gifts and home goods, with around 2,000 people estimated to have attended.
Pat Stafford, who helped organise the event, said: "We were very busy and we think we have made between £15,000 and £20,000 for Ataxia UK, which we are pleased about.
"Everyone was delighted with the range of items on site and the exhibitors sold a lot of items."
The charity helps with research and gives assistance to those with ataxia, a condition which affects parts of the nervous system responsible for co-ordination and balance.
A pupil at the school, who has the condition, was the inspiration behind the event, which was sponsored by Hamptons International and the Wayside Group.
