William Mitchell fun day raises thousands for Rosemere Cancer Foundation

A pub in Morecambe has raised thousands for charity thanks to its family fun day.

The William Mitchell on Westgate raised £4,700 for the Rosemere Cancer Foundation, thanks to the generosity of revellers who attended the event over the recent August Bank Holiday weekend.

The day included live music by artists who all gave their time for free, and stalls, hook-a-duck, lucky dip, a bouncy castle, face painting, and tombola.

There was also a sponsored head shave and a team member also completed a skydive.

Over the years, the pub has raised around £30,000 for the cause.

The Rosemere Cancer Foundation supports world-class cancer treatment throughout Lancashire and South Cumbria.
