On June 23, The Blue Boar in Aldbourne, Marlborough, put out a statement on their social media page: “We were delighted to welcome Ivo Graham, Roisin Conaty and friends to The Blue Boar today.
“Not only did they kindly take time out for a photo with Theo, one of our fantastic team members, but they were also rocking some Blue Boar merchandise while enjoying their visit!
“It’s always a pleasure to see well-known faces stopping by our little village pub, and we hope they had a great time in Aldbourne.
“Thanks for visiting, and remember, whether you’re a celebrity or a local, everyone gets the same warm Blue Boar welcome!”

The celebrities were in Swindon for a charity comedy night at the Wyvern Theatre on Monday, June 22, in support of Prospect Hospice.
The show was headlined by acclaimed comedian Joe Wilkinson, and he was joined by several other comedians.
‘The event holds deep personal significance for Wilkinson, who was introduced to the work of Prospect Hospice following the illness of his late father-in-law, local artist Paul Exton,’ reads the advert for the event.
‘After being diagnosed with liver cancer, Paul received end-of-life care from the hospice, where staff supported both him and his family during an incredibly difficult period.
‘He spent his final week at the hospice in Wroughton, surrounded by comfort and dignity, before passing away in November 2025.
‘The evening aims to raise vital funds and awareness for Prospect Hospice, a local charity providing compassionate end-of-life care and support to patients and their families.
‘Prospect Hospice provides care in both patients’ homes and at the hospice in Wroughton, supporting people with life-limiting illnesses across Swindon, Marlborough and north-east Wiltshire.
‘Despite the critical role it plays in the community, the charity relies heavily on donations to continue its work, with only 16% of its funding coming from the government.
‘This gap means that the hospice is currently only able to open half of its specialist inpatient beds.’
