A welcoming sign is being displayed outside the Mustard Seed Cafe, reminding people of its drop-in event on Christmas Day.

It's being organised and hosted by the Oasis Cafe, which is normally held just across the road at Dissenters Hall.

The Mustard Seed will be open between noon and 2pm for 'company and a cuppa'. Hot drinks and festive nibbles will be on offer.

Andie Milne from Oasis Cafe said the event isn't aimed only at people who are alone at Christmas - it's for anyone who would like to get out of the house for a break.

The team will be collecting donations on the day for Sidmouth's Wellbeing and Health Action Team (WHAT), a charity supporting young children and families with mental health issues.

On Wednesday 27 the Oasis Cafe will be back in its usual venue, the Leigh Browne Room at Dissenters.
