BLACKMORE Farm in Cannington has handed over £1,000 to St Margaret's Somerset Hospice.

The money was raised when the 15th century farmhouse welcomed more than 700 people to its Blackmore by Candlelight event and Christmas fair.

Julie Draper, St Margaret's fundraiser, said: “We are very grateful to everyone at Blackmore Farm for choosing to support St Margaret's and raising such a fantastic amount.”

Ian Dyer of Blackmore Farm said it was a pleasure to support such a worthwhile cause.
