A TREVONE hotel came alive with entertainment for its annual Real Ale Festival, helping to raise funds for charity. The event at the Well Parc had 20 ales from eight local breweries on offer for revellers.

Several local bands took to the stage throughout the event and there was entertainment for the children including bouncy castle and face painting. The event was organised by Lee Mills from the hotel and Sue Kitto (CORR) from Padstow who are both first responders and wanted to raise money for the Front Line Emergency Equipment Trust (FLEET) which has been working hard to support the ambulance service in Cornwall for more than 20 years. Miss Mills said: "I love being a first responder and we both wanted to help raise more money for FLEET which is such an important charity. This year we raised £2,000 and we are delighted. We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported us, helped on the day and donated money. A big thank you to Kate Bray and Nicola Briskham from Padstow who did the face painting, it was really amazing and helped to raise £140 towards our final total." The Well Parc's next fundraising event will be a barbecue and fete on Wednesday August 24 form 6.30pm and its next Real Ale Festival will be on Sunday May 27 next year.
