A casino night at a pub in the Fens raised more than £4,500 for charity.

The Three Tuns in Doddington hosted the fundraising event in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Support on Friday evening.

On the night, guests were able to buy dollars which they could then exchange for chips to play games of roulette, blackjack and poker led by the company 4 Aces Fun Casino. 

There was also a raffle and auction on the night as well as a disco and catering was provided by The Village Cakery who are based in Christchurch.

Tina Leonard, landlady of The Three Tuns, said: “The night was an amazing success but none of it would have been possible without the support of our business sponsors, supporters and everyone who contributed, either by donating a raffle prize, buying a raffle ticket or joining us on the evening, so I would like to say a huge thank you to you all.  

“We are extremely grateful for every penny raised for such a worthy charity. And we feel immensely proud to be part of such a giving and caring community.” 

She added that the casino night raised £4558.10. It follows her parachute jump for the same cause earlier this year, which raised £2134.00.

“The collection bucket is still with us so if you haven't had chance to drop a £ or two in, there's still time!”
