PRESS RELEASE
A massive thank you is going out to sponsors, visitors and local businesses who supported last month's medieval castle bonfire in Torrington.
A total of £55,000 has been raised through the charity event, which saw a 100ft castle, built by fundraisers the Torrington Cavaliers, burnt to the ground.
50% of the money raised will now be split between the Children's Hospice South West and the North Devon Cancer Care Centre Trust. Meanwhile, the remaining 50% will be distributed to a number of other smaller local charities.
