There was also the presentation of a painting by artist Chris Slater of a helter skelter at the event, which will take pride of place in the hotel foyer.
Julie Benson, who works for Age UK Rotherham, said: “Ye Olde Bell Charity Fun Day proved a fabulous day for everyone, with all the fun of a vintage fair.
We are amazed by the amount raised of £3,610.69 which will support our ‘Befrienders’ scheme of 80+ volunteers.
I would like to thank everyone who came along and contributed wholeheartedly to the day including those local businesses who donated fabulous prizes for the charity auction, raffle and tombola.”
