The weather was warm and sunny and each day there were different events and activities, meaning many people attended each day. We had music, displays of Maypole Dancing, Birds of Prey, Ferrets, Farmers’ Market Stalls, Craft stalls, Book stalls, Classic cars, Puppet shows, lots of food, delicious cake and ice cream. It was great to meet with so many people and to chat with retired Vicar Revd. Richard Adams. Monies raised (over £5k) are for our church. Grateful thanks to all who helped before, on and after the weekend to make it so wonderful. A superb example of teamwork!For more pictures please click the link!
