Martin Clunes will be joining Weldmar Hospicecare’s fundraising event at the Weldmar Hospicecare Inpatient Unit, Herringston Road, Dorchester on Saturday, September 13 from 11am to 4pm.
This will be Weldmar’s 28th traditional summer fete and will feature fun, games, prizes, entertainment and more.
A variety of bands and musicians will perform, there will be a selection of stalls, food and drink and an entertainment area.
There will also be prizes to be won in the mystery box draw.
Clunes, star of Doc Martin and Men Behaving Badly, lives in west Dorset and has been a long-term supporter of Weldmar, which provides free end of life care for adults with a life limiting illness, and support for their loved ones.
Organisers say: “Martin will be delivering a welcome message, getting involved in some of the traditional fete games we have on offer, and he’s always happy to stop for a selfie or two!
