TRADERS at Tavistock Pannier Market raised £289 for a children’s charity when they welcomed Darth Vader and his stormtroopers to their Star Wars themed event last Saturday.

The fun-packed day, which featured children’s treasure trails, Jedi training sessions, a photo competition and a raffle, was in aid of the Wallace and Gromit Grand Appeal.
