A CHARITY variety show held in Paignton in memory of loved ones has raised more than £1,500 for Rowcroft Hospice.

Let It Be, organised by dance teacher Sadie-Jane Beer, took place at the Palace Theatre earlier this month, bringing together performers from across Devon for an evening of music, dance and entertainment.

The final fundraising total has now been confirmed, with Sadie revealing that the show raised £1,572 for the hospice, which cared for members of her family.

The event featured a packed line-up including Cooper King, described as the UK’s youngest Elvis Presley tribute performer, Tank Sherman, who worked with legendary Cornish comedian Jethro, Dean Winter, Sophie Beresford, Just for Fun and Dolly Partley.

Sadie’s own dance troupe, Tap Fever UK, which is based in Newton Abbot, also took to the stage alongside other young dancers from across Devon.

The event had a deeply personal meaning for Sadie, who lost both her father and auntie in 2024.

She organised the show as a tribute to those who have passed away and to recognise the care provided by Rowcroft Hospice.

She previously said: ‘The idea and heart of this beautiful show is my father. My parents, Janet and Nigel, allowed me to follow my dreams from the age of five’.

She added that the show was ‘a tribute for anyone cared for by Rowcroft’.

Following the event, Sadie thanked everyone who had supported, performed in or attended the show.

‘Thank you so much to all that supported and performed in my charity show’. she said.

‘Thank you to all who came to watch. Rowcroft Hospice, our gift to you is to say thank you for your impeccable care’.
