EXMOUTH Hospital is holding its annual fete on Saturday August 8, from 2.15pm.

The event will be held in the hospital grounds where a host of stalls, activities and music from Exmouth Town Band will entertain the crowds.

The fete has been organised by Exmouth Hospital League of Friends to raise funds to improve patient facilities.

Exmouth hospital spokeswoman Tina Slade said: "We are so grateful to the League of Friends for their continued hard work on behalf of the patients.

"They've kindly offered to fund the extension of the Doris Heard ward so that we are better equipped to accommodate patients who need isolating or special care.

"We are also very lucky to have fantastic support from our local community and would love to see as many people as possible at the fete.
