A garden party to raise funds for the ‘Seachange’ Activity Club will be take place in East Budleigh on Saturday August 19 from 2pm to 5pm.

The fourth annual ‘Peggy Sleeman Memorial’ music garden party will take place on Saturday 19th August including live music from Plymouth-based Flamenco guitarist Mark Barnwell, soul and blues singer Georgia Omarah and singer/songwriters Sarah Maddison and Anna Marie Waite

Money raised will go to the ‘Seachange’ Activity Club in Budleigh Salterton which provides companionship and support for adults in later life who may be experiencing loneliness through social isolation or bereavement. The event is being organised by Jeff Sleeman whose mother Peggy was a regular supporter of the club prior to her death in January 2020.

Jeff said: "My mother was a lively lady and despite being in her late nineties when she died was a regular attender of many of the social activities at Seachange. We held the first charity music garden party in 2019 when she was still alive and it’s nice to be able to commemorate her life in this way every summer."

As well as musical entertainment there will be refreshments including home-made cakes on offer and it is a family and dog- friendly event. Admission is by voluntary donation.
