THIS year’s Wantage Mummers Play raised £1,800 for charity.

The players, mostly from Icknield Way Morris Men, performed their traditional Boxing Day skit in Faringdon, Wantage and Childrey and asked for donations.

They raised £1,240 for veterans’ mental health charity Combat Stress and £560 for Oxfordshire disability support charity Vale and South Carers.

Melvin Seaborne, who played the part of “Old Father Beelzebub”, thanked everyone for their donations.
