This year’s event paid tribute to businessman, John Long, who died in April 2023.

The event helped raised £880 and was donated to The Myton Hospices.

Martin Watts, a fundraiser for The Myton Hospices, said “We can’t thank Matt, Barry, Eddie and everyone at the Fox & Vivian enough for their generosity in support of Myton.

"It shows how much John was appreciated as a member of the local community that his friends raised such an amazing sum in his memory – funds which will directly benefit our patients and their families.”
