Kind-hearted pub regulars have raised the bar for charity by filling six sacks of toys for seriously ill children.
The festive collection of goodies was organised by landlords Steve Ross and Karen Nicholson.
Generous punters either donated gifts or cash for the pair to spend on toys.
Steve said: “The collection has been in full swing for several weeks and we’re delighted to have gathered so many presents.
“There were enough for six massive sacks, which were donated by the company we work for, Craft Union.

“We were so touched by people’s kindness. Our customers are lovely, decent people and very generous.
“By pulling together we’ve managed to buy some cracking presents for children of all ages.
