Cream teas ! Paintings ! All at a new cafe bar at an iconic local venue.

But best of all, the recent charity day at Tuckers Grave Inn raised over £1,500 for Children's Hospice South West.

Dawn Chapman, HR & Health & Safety Manager at Tucker's said: "A HUGE thank you to everyone who attended the charity event on Saturday 11 September.

" The love and warmth in the room that day was breath taking. The support from far and wide was a testament to the community spirit in the area.

"After such a challenging and isolating 18 months with the covid pandemic it was good to welcome visitors from miles around willing to support the cream tea event. There were old faces as well as new faces to the pub sharing stories of days gone by and fun that was had there in their lifetime. People mixed and enjoyed each other's company while eating cream scones and cakes.

"There was an aura of understanding that charities like CHSW have been impacted by COVID yet have done all they could to survive and continue to support families in need.

"The media presentation from CHSW played quietly in the background and supporters watched in awe of the challenges these families face to require the support of the hospice. They generously bought raffle tickets, cream teas, cakes and put coins into the collection boxes provided. What a day!! Humbled at the generosity of others to enable us to exceed a total of £1500 raised."

Three paintings by local artist David Graham were also sold on the day - all the profits from these went into the charity collection.
