THUNDERSTORMS have failed to dampen spirits at a garden fete which raised £2,500 for charity.

Julia Nash, of Lyndham Avenue, Stapenhill, held a charity fair to raise money for St Giles Hospice.

For the 24th year running, Mrs Nash hosted a range of activities such as tombola, a raffle, cake stalls, a 'kiddies' corner' with games, adult games and book stalls and a quiz sold in advance.

Mrs Nash said: "We had a lovely morning despite the horrendous weather. Everyone enjoyed themselves and there was a lovely friendly atmosphere."
