A classic car show in Grange-over-Sands raised £8000 for local charities including St Mary's Hospice.

Classics Over Sands returned to Grange-over-Sands in August, an event featuring an 'incredible display' of classic cars that raised £8000 for local causes. St Mary's Hospice in south Cumbria received £4000 from the proceeds, with committee members visiting the hospice this month to present the cheque.

The remaining funds were distributed among Prostate Cancer UK, two local prostate cancer support charities, the local scout group in Cartmel, Cumbria Wildlife, and Kent Estuary Young Farmers. A spokesperson from the hospice said the team 'loved getting a closer look at one of the beautiful classic cars during their visit' and expressed gratitude to everyone involved in organising the event and to exhibitors and attendees who supported it.
