The cast of Robin Hood in Williamson Park, Lancaster

Thousands of pounds were raised from audiences of The Dukes's outdoor production of Robin Hood in Williamson Park, Lancaster for local homeless charities.

During the five-week run, audiences were invited to make donations in memory of George Lowery, who slept rough in Williamson Park for many years and died there in March.

A total of more than £4,000 was raised, which has been shared between Lancaster’s Christ Church Night Shelter, Lancaster and District Homeless Action Service and West End Impact in Morecambe.
