A BUTTERFLY tea party in Sidmouth on Saturday raised �80 for Children’s Hospice South West.

Winslade Road resident Adrienne Seddon organised the event at her home to boost a fundraising trio currently taking on a 630 mile trek in aid of the cause.

Visitors enjoyed home made cakes and the opportunity to buy cards and stationary at the tea party.

Cash raised will help Russ Smith, Liz Hayman and Fizzy the dog in their bid to raise thousands of pounds for charity by walking the entire South West Coastal Footpath.

“I’m very happy,” said organiser Adrienne. “We had a lot of people through the door who were very kind. It was a good day and well supported.”
