A NEW luxury day spa opened in Ilminster last Friday (September 17).

The spa, based at Dillington Estate, welcomed 60 guests for an evening of canapes, drinks, tours, treatment demonstrations, live music and a charity raffle.

Owner, Kerry Hole-Stuart, decided to team up with The Bell at Broadway, The Green House and SPAR Ilminster to provide the drinks and nibbles.

Jack Humphries, acoustic guitarist and singer, entertained the guests during the evening.

Kerry also gave seven hampers to raffle winners, with products from JOICO and Jennifer Young.

The charity raffle raised just under £200 for Maggie's Centre, which is a charity for cancer care and support.

Transformations Day Spa is not a completely new venture for Kerry - she has rebranded and relocated from her old spa in Ilminster town centre.

The spa can offer space for six guests at once.
